Kato Kahra is an independent musical project which was formed in 2007 by two
music producers, Tomas Hradec and Kamil Kavecka, who colaborate with various
artists from all over the world. Kato Kahra mixes electronic music with any
interesting live instruments and vocals.
Kamil Kavecka used to play an acoustic guitar when he was a child and started
working with musical programs in 1999. Meeting Tomas Hradec in 2007 led to the
foundation of the Kato Kahra project whose name consists of their acronyms.
Tomas Hradec was born in the Czech Republic / Liberec and started attending
piano lessons at the age of six. At the age of twelve he switched to electronic
keys which later became his great passion. With the flow of new information and
the advent of modern technology Tomas started experimenting with musical
instruments, predominantly synthesizers and specialized musical software that
helps him create and combine his musical visions.
