His father was a violinist, and his mother was a pianist. From a young age, Stryi was exposed to music and showed a keen interest in it. Stryi began his musical training at the age of six, learning to play the piano. He showed exceptional talent and was soon enrolled in the Vienna Conservatory of Music. There, he studied under some of the most renowned music teachers in the world, including Karlheinz Stockhausen and Gyorgy Ligeti. Stryi's talent was evident from the start, and he quickly gained recognition for his exceptional skills. He won several awards and competitions, including the prestigious International Piano Competition in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1975.

Stryi's performances were characterized by his technical brilliance and his ability to convey emotion through his music. He was known for his interpretations of the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin, among others.
