A couple of days ago the world famous song writer, Desmond Child, has taken the oath of citizenship at the Hungarian embassy in Washington and officially became a Hungarian citizen, hirado.hu reports.  The songwriter has Cuban and Hungarian ancestry. He is famous for writing countless songs for singers like Jon Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Shakira, and Katy Perry.

The oath of citizenship was pre-read by Réka Szemerkényi, Hungarian Ambassador to the United States, and then was repeated by Child in Hungarian. The songwriter proudly showed the document to his family and claimed that one of his main goals is to visit Hungary and help Hungarian musicians to become world known.

Desmond Child was born in Florida in 1953; his mother was a Cuban singer and his father was Baron Sándor Márfy, a Hungarian gentleman to the core. Although Child has been a musician for more than 40 years, people usually know him as a songwriter. Child has more than 70 Top 40 songs, and he wrote hit songs for musicians such as Jon Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, the Aerosmith, Shakira, or Katy Perry.

His songs has been on more than 300 million sold records world-wide. The most popular one “Livin’ La Vida Loca” is sung by Ricky Martin.
