Dan Bárta & Illustratosphere

An unmistakable voice with excellent singing technique, first-class musicians and songs soaring above the domestic standard of popular music … Dan Bárta & Illustratosphere have been enchanting listeners across generations and musical genres for twenty years!

In 1991, he decided to pursue an artistic career and, after a short performance in the band Tom Sawyer, founded the band Alice, with which he would later release three albums. In the following years, he was at the birth of Die El. Eleffant and in 1994 he accepted cooperation in the band J.A.R. A year earlier, he got the role of Jesus and then Judas in the very successful Czech production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and a few years later he studied the role of Che in the musical Evita. In 1998, as a leader, he headed the band Sexy Dancers. In 2000, he gave the basic impetus to the creation of ILLUSTRATOSPHERE. For his work and contribution to the Czech music scene, Dan Bárta was awarded Singer of the Year ten times by the Academy of Popular Music (1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2013) and won the Singer of the Quarter Century award at the Anděl Awards 2015!
