Biography
VIP's Eurovision song is being requested over and over on Hungarian radio. The average age of Imre and Viktor Rakonczai, Alex Jozsa and Gergo Racz is 20, and the boys are all singers and multi-instrumentalists who write, compose and arrange all their own songs. All four are studying music. Their debut album is just coming out on the BMG Ariola label. The group is backed by one of Hungary's leading managements, R-Go, Manhattan.
