Hungarian musician and DJ MC Ducky has relocated permanently to Cyprus, transitioning from a career in entertainment to managing a tourism business. According to an interview with Story, the former Emergency House member now facilitates travel for Hungarians, citing a long-term preference for the Mediterranean climate over returning to Budapest.
From Nightlife to Mediterranean Tourism
The COVID-19 pandemic served as a primary catalyst for this change, forcing the closure of nightlife venues and prompting a move to England to join a partner. Following a period as a casino manager, the musician experienced a significant life transition after the death of their mother.
“I couldn’t find my place in the world for a year,” MC Ducky told Story. A trip to Cyprus intended for recovery turned into a permanent relocation. While the artist previously identified as a self-described “local patriot” deeply attached to Budapest, they reported that the Mediterranean lifestyle proved a better fit for their long-term well-being.
