Adam Svatoš (born 16 June 1979), known by his stage names MC Kato and Deph, is a Czech rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and DJ. He gained recognition as the primary songwriting and performing member of hip-hop groups Chaozz and Rigor Mortiz. Later, he formed and led a hip-hop band named Prago Union.[3]

Biography

[edit]

As a member of rap duo Flavamatic, he began working with Chaozz in 1994 and later became the main figure in the band. He signed a deal with a major label, Dutch PolyGram, and achieved popularity outside the Czech hip hop community.[citation needed] As a result of the conditions of his contract with the label, he went broke after the end of Chaozz.[4] Several years later, his album Dezorient Express received critical acclaim and started his comeback.[citation needed]

Due to his former problems with his thyroid gland, Svatoš has no teeth.[5][6]
