Lili from “I am Soyuz”: “I feel at home everywhere”
She has travelled the world with just a ukulele. She is a singer, songwriter and amateur photographer who, by the way, works as a pediatric surgeon in Stockholm. … Felícia Lili Bozóky is a lot of things, but we could hardly call her an average person. She was born in Szeged from Hungarian parents. She lives in Sweden now but often visits Hungary to perform her one-person spacepop show. I met her when she came to Szeged to give a concert at Grand Café.

From piano to space-pop
Lili Felicia Bozóky grew up in Sweden with Hungarian parents. As a child, she already had an affinity for music and arts: she would always draw, play the piano and take photographs. At the age of 18, she bought her first guitar and went on a European backpacking trip. Her father, a distinguished pathologist, encouraged her to study at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Szeged. She got acquainted with the ukulele at a festival in Budapest. As an Erasmus student, she studied pediatrics in Rome. The idea of her project “I am Soyuz” was born in Monterrey, Mexico in 2012, when she was doing her internship at the trauma surgery department of the local hospital treating the wounds of tough guys injured in the drug war. She is a singer with an enchanting voice who performs her songs, defined by herself as space-pop, on ukulele, guitar, melodica, omnichord and kalimba with the help of a looper.
