LACI PASZTAS
LEAD GUITAR
Laci has had a musical history dating all the way back to when he was 7 years old. As a second grader, he started learning his first stringed instrument, the violin. He later started taking cello lessons at age 11. But it wasn’t until he turned 18 when he got his first electric guitar due to the influence of guitarist Brian May of Queen. Not having enough funds to purchase professional gear, he used a record player as his first guitar amp… To this day he's been playing the guitar with no formal training, everything he knows is self-taught.
Throughout the years he has played with various worship bands, the last of which was comprised of professional musicians. He then joined the band Steel Pony in 2014 and has been playing with them ever since, contributing to the band with his emotional and passionate playing.
