WASHINGTON, DC -- He is recognized by both his fans and peers as being one of the sexiest music composers alive. It's difficult to dispute such a claim after laying eyes on Levente Egry, a prodigy from Budapest, Hungary, who once opened for the late Michael Jackson.

But behind his quiet demeanor, incredible talent and good looks, there is a story about a phenom who relies on the composition of sentimental music to help couples bring passion back into their lives while he copes with his own private demons.

Egry speaks candidly to Washington, DC, journalist Monica Davis, revealing for the first time his deepest and darkest secrets while growing up behind the Iron Curtain.

"After learning about Levente Egry, I just had to share his amazing story with the world and what he's doing to make a difference in the lives of so many souls," said Davis, publisher of Exceptional People Magazine.

In a 7-page spread in the May/June issue of Extraordinary People Magazine, Egry reveals eerie parallels between his childhood and those of the late Michael Jackson's.

One of the differences dividing the two composers was that Egry grew up behind the Iron Curtain, a concept that symbolized the ideological fighting and physical boundary which disunited Europe and separated Egry from the western world, the entertainer's secret field of dreams.

After Hungary demolished the Iron Curtain in 1989, Egry's wish was granted. The multi-award-winning crossover performer finally got the chance to open for Michael Jackson.

"In my extensive dialogue with Levente, I wanted to delve into the psyche of this exceptional talent," said Davis. "I did not expect him to be that open with me because we are worlds apart, geographically and culturally. Remember, this is a person who was told, all of his life by his parents and teachers, that the western world was evil and not to trust it."

Those days have changed. Like the lead character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera," the masquerade is over. It was time to reveal the man behind the mask, the man behind the music.
