Botond Drahos was born in 2003 Kaposvár, Hungary. At the age of eight, he began playing the trombone. When he was fifteen years old he was accepted in the St. Stephen Conservatory in Budapest. After his graduation in 2022, Botond was admitted to Prof. Jonas Bylund’s class in Hannover. He has been studying with him and Tomer Maschkowski ever since.
