Biography

Drda comes from a Czech-Russian family. In his youth, he demonstrated an aptitude for music and sports, and took part in karate, volleyball, and lifeguarding.[4] Although he sang since he was a child, he gained fame only when he participated in the third season of the reality television singing competition Česko hledá SuperStar, the Czech version of the Idol series. Drda won third place on 17 December 2006.[2]

After this victory, Drda recorded his debut album, titled Pohled do očí, which was released in April 2007. The record became a bestseller. In the 2007 Český slavík awards, Drda won the "Skokan roku", i.e. the Best Newcomer award.[5]

In 2018, Drda released his second solo album, titled Záhadná.[6]
