Jakub Kostka

Jakub Kostka was born in Břeclav and began his musical education at the age of five, initially learning the trumpet. Two years later, he took up the violin, completing both levels of study at his local music school. At fourteen, he discovered the double bass, which gradually became his instrument of choice.

His decision to pursue a career in music took shape during his studies at the Edvard Beneš Secondary Technical School, where he graduated in 2020. He is now in his fifth year at the Prague Conservatoire, studying double bass with Professor Jiří Valenta.
