Biography

Nemeth was born in Keszthely, Hungary. At 14 he left home to study classical percussion at the Richter János Conservatory in Győr. He also attended the Franz Liszt Academy of Music and received a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He later studied at the New England Conservatory in their graduate program. In 2001 he was accepted into the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (the first Hungarian in the program) and studied there until 2003. Since 2003 he has been reading in New York City.

He has played with musicians such as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Christian McBride, John Patitucci, Terence Blanchard, John Abercrombie, Joshua Redman, Dave Samuels, Mark Turner, Ron McClure, Chris Cheek, Aaron Goldberg, Eli Degibri, Illayaraja, Dhafer Youssef and many more. He is also the founding member of Gilfema with Lionel Loueke and Massimo Biolcati. Nemeth's Night Songs was nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Jazz Album of the Year.[1][2] Since then he has released Triumph (2012), Bridges of Souls (2014) and most recently Freedom (2020) as a leader on his record label, Dreamer's Collective Records as well as Wheel of Time (2006) and Imaginary Realm (2013) in collaboration with Javier Vercher.

Nemeth is also the creator and owner of Drum School App (available for Apple and Android products), a new, innovative application to learn to play drums much faster and easier.
