Catch that sound in Hradec Králové!

After three years of studying music production in England and an internship at a studio in Manchester, I am opening my own recording studio in Hradec Králové. I capture every sound. From ukulele to drums. From metal to jazz. Help bring my vision to life.

How It All Started

I got my first drum kit when I was five. At nine, I picked up the guitar, and over time, I dived into all kinds of musical fun. Around the age of fourteen, I realized it would be amazing to learn how to capture sound – and that’s when I fell in love with microphones, recorders, monitors, and everything else related to recording and sound.

After graduating from J.K. Tyl Grammar School in Hradec Králové and dropping out of my first year at the University of Hradec Králové, I decided to try university abroad. I applied to study Popular Music Production in England. After three years of learning how to record just about anything, I interned at HQ Studios in Manchester under the guidance of Michael Vindice (Abbey Road). I was 23 at the time.

Now I’m 25, and I’ve decided to open my own recording studio in my hometown – my beloved Hradec Králové.

What’s My Goal?

My goal is to build a high-quality recording studio in Hradec Králové that will attract clients not only from all over the Czech Republic but hopefully from abroad too (ideally more than just my friends from England!). I’m hoping to raise 350,000 CZK (€14 000) to help with setting up and equipping the studio. It won’t cover everything, but it’ll definitely make a big difference!

Why Am I Doing This?

Music – recording and shaping it – is my lifelong passion. (Sure, I’m only 25, but I really do believe I can say that.) After gaining a lot of hands-on experience abroad, I want to bring professional studio services to Hradec Králové – a city that doesn’t usually get this kind of attention. I truly believe in supporting and enriching the cultural scene, and I see this studio as a valuable step in that direction.
