Norbert Csicsák (Noresz) is a two-time Artisjus Award-winning composer, Petőfi Award-winning lyricist, music producer, and sound engineer, as well as a founding member of NoLo Sound. He has more than two decades of professional experience in the field of Hungarian pop music and audiovisual productions.

His primary focus is pop music, and he has established long-term collaborations with a wide range of Hungarian artists, including Zséda, Ildikó Keresztes, Gigi Radics, Attila Kökény, Charlie, Peter Sramek, Csaba Vastag, and Nikolas Takács.

He maintains a close professional relationship with Magneoton, one of Hungary's leading music labels, with whom he has worked for nearly a decade. As a producer, composer, and sound engineer, he has also participated in several international projects.

Within NoLo Sound, Norbert is involved in the complete creative process: from songwriting through recording, sound design, mixing, and mastering, he is able to independently carry a production through from beginning to end. He works in his own professional recording studio, equipped with world-class gear—from the recording chain and premium microphones to high-end mastering equipment. This comprehensive, end-to-end approach makes it possible to create a consistent and distinctive sound for every project.

Over the past twenty years, he has arranged hundreds of songs, giving him exceptional professional expertise and stylistic versatility.

He is also active in television productions: he has worked on the Hungarian versions of X-Faktor and The Masked Singer, as well as on film and theatre projects such as Pappa Pia, The Toy Maker, and Dream Travelers.

As a sound engineer and producer, he gained significant experience at Pannónia Studio, where he participated in the creation of live orchestral and film score recordings.

Being invited to work on the music for the film „A Király” (about the life of Jimmy Zámbó) was both a great honor and an enormous challenge. However, the immense amount of effort invested was more than worthwhile, as the film and its soundtrack achieved unexpected success. The project was awarded a Fonogram Award.

Norbert's professional development has been supported by numerous training programs and mentorships, including guidance from Tamás Silk Sellyei, Viktor Rakonczai, and Zsolt Gyulai. Within NoLo Sound, he works with a carefully selected group of artists, focusing on the creation of unique sounds and high-quality productions. His work is driven by collaboration and the shaping of new musical directions, in line with the label's long-term vision.
