Early life
Pešák was born in 1944 in the town of Jaroměř, then part of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.[citation needed] In 1972, he graduated from the Prague Conservatory and then worked for three years in the Central Bohemian Symphony Orchestra in Poděbrady as a clarinetist.[3] Afterward, he taught at a music school for one year.[4]
Career
He is best known for his work with Ivan Mládek, in the latter's Banjo Band, and particularly for his high-spirited performance in the 1977 video for the song "Jožin z bažin".[5] In Pešák's later years, he sang with Václav Upír Krejčí in a vocal duo named Dýza Boys, and he appeared in a number of films, including Trhala fialky dynamitem (1992), as well as television series.[6]
Pešák had his own band, a rock and roll revival group named Rockec Ivo Pešáka. They released two albums: Hej, hej, rock and roll (1996) and Rockec Ivo Pešáka (2002).[7]
