Kunas' interaction with music started during music school years. It was there that he experienced first-hand solo performing as well as playing 1st violin in a symphony orchestra. Later on he began playing in different art rock oriented bands that were focused on writing original music.
During this time he discovered the synthesizer, an instrument that would be essential for his growth, leading Kunas to begin writing solo work.
