Biography

As a member of rap duo Flavamatic, he began working with Chaozz in 1994 and later became the main figure in the band. He signed a deal with a major label, Dutch PolyGram, and achieved popularity outside the Czech hip hop community. As a result of the conditions of his contract with the label, he went broke after the end of Chaozz.[4] Several years later, his album Dezorient Express received critical acclaim and started his comeback.

Due to his former problems with his thyroid gland, Svatoš has no teeth.[5][6]
