Background
In 1999, both Hamvas and Wind finished their secondary school studies at Teleki Blanka Gymnasium and they spent the summer with rehearsing at their home. In autumn 1999, Hamvas started a two-year course at the Budapest Business College, while Wind started studying economics at the Szolnok College. Wind was persuaded by his parents to pursue a career in business life. However, it was clear for Wind, that business would not be his favorite subject. He left the college in January 2000 and he started preparing for tests to enter the Eötvös Loránd University to study English and Italian languages. During his preparation for the language exams, Wind had plenty of time playing the guitar. He enthusiastically learnt playing songs from one of his favorite bands Nirvana. From February to March 2000, he composed numerous songs and he developed his composing skills very fast. In March 2000, the band decided to record the new songs during the spring break. The songs from Vanity Star also laid the foundation of the early years of Dawnstar.
