About Me

When I was studying an elementary school, I've been visiting elementary music school for five years. There I've learned a music teory and played a trumpet. But because of study a high school in different city I had to stop my music education. At that time I had no notion about some rock or metal music and listened to disco, rap, hip-hop and techno music. Strange time:-) At home I played on classic guitar but as a beginner. Electric guitar adressed me when I was 16 years old and I start to study high electro-technical school. In time I performed on guitar with two garage bands and than power-metal band called Power 5 has been looking for a new bassist. So I started to learn. I played there for 5 nice years. I've done there because of some internal problems and I started to study an university in Zlin. But perspective of my study is not so good. After I left P5, we started a little music project with other guys, which left the band before me. Unfortunately I don't have enough time for this projet:-( Summer 2007 was very important for me, because I spend a couple of a nice days with cool guys from the australian metal band called BLACK MAJESTY, during their europian summer tour and playd my lovely bassguitar for couple of concerts and festivals like Wacken Open Air, Masters of Rock etc. Nowdays I'm looking for some new band for me, because still I want to play my bassguitar. So if YOU have any offer...
