As a virtuoso musician, Edina Szirtes Mókus is familiar with a variety of styles, still she has managed to develop her own, special sound both in singing and on violin. She has composed music for exhibitions and dramatic performances (Szeged Contemporary Ballet). These compositions merge classical, world music (ethno) and jazz styles. She has contributed in numerous well-known Hungarian groups and performers ((Muddy Shoes, TNT, Nyers, Rakonczai Viktor, etc.).

She is also regularly on tour in Europe with her own bands (Blues B.R.Others, Dafina, Hajnal, Ex-tri, Alex Paid Holiday, etc). A distinctive talent within Nomada, she plays the violin on a wide scale, without any stylistic boundaries, and she performs the Gypsy songs with deep feeling and emotion.
