Michal Strnad
In 2011 he graduated from the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory where he studied jazz singing. But his musical journey was not straightforward. At age of 12 he started to play guitar. His teenage passion for rock music has then resulted in revealing the world of jazz at the age of 17. He has participated in several jazz workshops and taken private lessons with Roman Hampacher and David Dorůžka. Then he studied social work and psychotherapy in college, at that time he sang in the half-amateur choir Apsora under the direction of Ida Kelarova, where singing became his new passion.
After that he took private singing lessons with Filip Gondolán and was accepted to a jazz department of the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory. There he studied singing under the direction of Miriam Bayle and Hana Pecková. In addition to Skety, Michal plays and sings with his bands Slightly Bended (pop/jazz/latin) and Backbeats (pop&rock covers), sings regularly with the Magnum Jazz Big Band and has been featured in the show Kudykam by Michal Horáček.
