SoundCzech

Head of Department

“I believe in collaborations. There is no competition when it is about creating a music ecosystem that is able to provide sustainable carriers for the people working on it.”

Márton Náray has been working in the creative and cultural sector for 25 years. During this time he had the opportunity to explore the music industry through a 360° viewpoint, as a record store manager, a festival programmer (Sziget Festival, Babel Sound, European Music Day…), a booking agent, project manager for a governmental music export agency (Music Export in Hungary and Czech Republic), a city programme manager, conference organizer (regiON, SoundQuest, Overhead), club promoter, tour manager, musician, radio presenter, and of course a music addict.

For the last 7 years, Márton has been the head of the Czech Music Export Office / SoundCzech. SoundCzech has received the V4 award just recently for its role to boost awareness and music collaborations in the region.
