Welcome to my website. My name is Jan Vytásek and I am a singer and songwriter from Prague. You could have noticed me in local bands Professor, Lightmotif, PartyLeaders, Co, Prague Queen Tribute, as a guest of classic and pop-rock fusion blended „Concerts Without Boundaries“, as a frontman of the Queenheart tribute, or with my accompany band Jan Vytásek & Blackbirds, which has been around since 2002. Some of you might have noticed me playing my original songs at the bars and festivals or seen me on TV, internet, or heard me on the independent airplay. Who knows.
I perform at concerts and festivals mostly with my original songs in Czech and English and some of my favorite cover versions. For many years I’ve been performing as a guest singer at gala events, private or corporate events with the mixture of repertoire of world famous cover-versions, added with some of my original songs, if suitable. That beverage ingredients depend on actual type of event and agreement with the organizer. Mostly I perform in the Czech Republic, but from time to time I take my old car and make some gigs outside. Who knows, maybe sometime I’ll come nearby you too! So stay informed! 🙂
Be sure to follow me at the Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (which is in English), and check my videos on YouTube.

Jan has been a guest for many local and abroad events and became frequently requested entertainer for gala events.

Event agencies review:
Jan is a phenomenal singer with unbelievable vocal range, so he can deliver your favorite hit song in proper key with an authentic presentation. Hearing his interpretation of, for example Freddie Mercury (Queen), is truly heart-warming experience. He is a rocker and balladeer with romantic soul, and beside that, clean-limbed man with great energy to share.
– PartyLeaders Agency
There is a fine mixture of rock drive and melodic belcanto flavour in Jan´s voice. This explains the
interpretation ability of both spicy rock classics along with smooth balads.
