Biography
Čeněk “Chenzo” Chleboun was born in 2001 in the Czech Republic. He started playing drums at the age of five, introduced to rock music by his father, who plays bass. He began with drum lessons at a local music school, but soon transitioned to teaching himself. Things took a turn when he began taking private lessons with Mika Ronos. After a few years of playing, Čeněk started uploading drum covers to YouTube, eventually catching the attention of the punk-rock band MEOW! shortly before graduating high school in 2018. He quickly began performing across the Czech Republic with MEOW!, gaining recognition on the local music scene. After MEOW! disbanded, Čeněk started playing with rising Czech pop artists Annabelle and Pam Rabbit in 2021. In late 2022, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He recovered quickly and returned to the stage for the final shows of the year. In 2023, he parted ways with Annabelle and played over 70 shows with Pam Rabbit, performing at all major Czech festivals (Rock for People, Colours of Ostrava, Metronome, Hrady.CZ) and in arenas across the country (Prague, Brno, Pardubice, Ostrava). In early August 2024, Čeněk left Pam Rabbit’s band. Later that year, he got a call to join Czech rapper Marpo — known for blending rap and country — for a spring 2025 tour. At the end of August 2024, he auditioned for the US band The Haunt and filmed two music videos with them. As of early 2025, Čeněk has been playing full-time with Marpo.
