In 1999, I co-founded the punk'n'roll band Degradace, with whom I'm still going strong.
I've been working at the musical instrument store Hudební Svět for a few years now, and a while ago I decided that I'd like to write about music—for Rock & Pop, Rock & All, Rock History and now also Frontman.cz (the Czech edition of Insounder).
So my whole life revolves around music, but also—and more importantly—around my girlfriend and my son.
