Born in Prague in 1978 into a Roma family of musicians, he started on guitar, violin and cimbalom and from the age of eleven played in his grandfather’s band. He studied double bass and electric bass at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory (graduating in 2000) and joined the Karel Růžička Trio while still a student. He is among the most sought-after Czech double bassists: he plays in the Zuzana Lapčíková Quintet (Anděl Award 2012), the quartets of Libor Šmoldas and Rostislav Fraš and the Otto Hejnic Trio, and leads his own projects Connection and Josef Fečo & Gypsy Friends. His collaborators have included Bobby Watson, Skip Wilkins, Radovan Tariška and Byron Wallen. On the album Za obzorem ticha he plays double bass and electric bass.
