Tamás Deák (born May 31, 1976,[2]) better known by his stage name Speak, is a rap artist, model and actor based in Hungary. He gained considerable fame after the music video for his 2003 anti-war song, "Stop the War", became popularized through video sharing websites. Speak currently lives in London, England.[citation needed]
[edit] "Stop the War"
Speak is known primarily for his 2003 rap single "Stop the War".[3] A video for this single appeared on YouTube, and featured other semi-famous musicians.[4] Some critics were amused by the video, with various commentators labeling the song as unintentional humor.[5] Speak has had some success touring in Europe.[6]
