Early years

Csaba is one of three brothers, the others being Balázs and Tamás. At age 11 he became an acrobatic rock and roll dancer, and later became lead singer of rock band touring several European countries. In 2000 he graduated from Veszprém Secondary School and enrolled in Veszprém's University of Pannonia (Pannon Egyetem university). He also had vocal training under the supervision of Judit Kővári. In 2001 he took part in a Hungarian production of Hair directed by Mészáros Árpád Zsolt. Vastag played the role of Aquarius in the musical theater piece. His first chart break came in 2008 when he reached No. 4 on the Hungarian Singles Chart.

X-Faktor

In 2010, both Csaba Vastag and his younger brother Tamás Vastag reached the Top 12 finals in the inaugural season of the Hungarian X-Faktor competition. They both advanced to the Top 5 in week 8 but faced elimination as the bottom two contestants, resulting in Tamás' departure. In week 9, Csaba found himself in the bottom two again but was saved, defeating Veca Janicsák. Despite facing elimination for two consecutive weeks, Csaba ultimately emerged as the winner of the competition in the final held on December 19, 2010, defeating the other two Top 3 finalists: Nikolas Takács (runner-up) and Norbi L. Király (3rd place).
