I´m Eltonite my whole life. I was born as Eltonite (laughter). My father and my mother listened to Elton's music long before my birth, and it was the first thing, I heard in my life.

 

2.   This is beautiful! Remember you wich song was the very first?

 

No, Peter. That's too long time. Unfortunately. Just I know that this great music I love.

 

3.   Never mind, Ben. Yet, you´re Eltonite you playing the drums and keyboards, not piano. Why?

 

I also play the piano. I love the piano. But it is true that the keys are my main instrument. And the drums too. The reason is that to affect me even more musicians. Three Musicians.

 

4.   Who is your biggest musical influences?

 

Ben Babylon and Tam Johnstone! They are one of the coolest people and musicians I know!

 

5.   You and Ben Babylon also have some common things ....

 

I admire him! I understand many things in his life, because I personally experienced the same things. If I could find as much power as he did, I'd be happy. He´s my model as a musician, but he´s my model as a man too. And I will always support him because he´s fantastic! I am thankful to God for that I know him!

 

6.   You are the author of the website of Ben Babylon, the official Czech site it is .... It's an important thing. People there find information in Czech. You help to succeed Ben in the Czech Republic. This is beautiful!

 

He deserves it! But .... I was now ill. And I could not be on the computer. Fundamental news out there. But that's not enough. Ben deserves the best. I very much appreciate him.

 

7.   You Have a healthy, you can continue your work on the Internet. It's a wonderful idea.

 

Thank you. I have many ideas, I have done. I have to put on web sites. I worked in bed, but I was without internet. My classmates at school waiting for news. Most people in my class are Ben´s fans.

 

8.   Beautiful! And your other musical influences ... Tam Johnstone's why you play the drums?

 

Yes, yes. He´s an amazing musician. I love his music work. And he is also a wonderful man. He gives people around positive energy. This is something that should have a good artist. Few artists gives people a positive energy. His positive energy is contained in everything he does. In his pictures, his smile, in his words. Just to share with him the sam world is beautiful. Such people are rare. He always gives me positive energy. It is hard to describe.

 

9.   I understand you. What is your favorite song by Elton John?

The Last song. I always remember the moments with my father.

 

10.                    Your father Tan Tišík was amazing head nurse. We worked together. And he loved this song. You'll also be in the future a nurse as him?

 

Yes, but I continue to play in a band too.
