The frontman of the band is the acclaimed Nagy Tamás who is considered to be one of the greatest talents in Hungarian folk dancing. Péter Szabó Szilvia, is the new talented lead singer. The creative team behind the band has paid special attention to giving Nox a unique image that stands out in the world of Hungarian pop music. The group has released four albums so far.
