About
Formed in 2018, FORTUAN (Slovak international phone code 421) represents a new wave of modern rock music coming from the very heart of Europe. If you're craving melodic hooks, catchy guitar riffs, and an indie pop rock experience like no other, look no further than Fortuan. After winning the 2. place of the pop category in the slovak band competition, Fortuan debuted with the first album FLAVOURS in 2020.
During the last 2 years the band recorded another 4 singles. Two of which (Catch me if you can, 2021 and Home, 2022) were produced by successful music mixing engineer from LA, Mario Borgatta. This collaboration improved their sound and this gained interest of multiple Slovak radio stations. The recent single - River, mixed by another well known engineer, Math Bishop, was released in February 2023 and it quickly found it's home on the airwaves of leading Slovak radios.
Since then, Fortuan played many concerts (e.g. the oldest Slovak rock festival TopFest, 2023) and is planning to gig even more.
