THE STORY
My
Story
Music has been with me
for as long as I can remember.
FROM NOVÝ JIČÍN TO THE WORLD —
AND EVERYTHING MUSIC TAUGHT ME
ALONG THE WAY.
01 / UPBRINGING
NOVÝ JIČÍN,
CZECH REPUBLIC
Tomáš was born in Nový Jičín, a small town in the Czech Republic, into a Roma family of twelve children.
There wasn't much, but home was always full of life — family, noise, stories and music.
Music was part of everyday life long before Tomáš could have imagined where it would eventually take him.
02 / THE JOURNEY
OSTRAVA — PRAGUE — BOSTON
OSTRAVA
At fifteen, Tomáš left home to study classical piano at the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava.
PRAGUE
His studies continued in Prague at the Academy of Performing Arts, where he earned his master's degree in classical piano.
BOSTON
Berklee opened a new chapter — bringing classical training together with Roma musical roots, jazz, improvisation and composition.
03 / Finding His Voice
Finding a language
of his own.
Classical training gave Tomáš a foundation, but his musical identity was shaped by many worlds.
Roma musical roots, jazz, improvisation and classical tradition gradually became one language — his own.
