Iveta Bartošová's son Artur Štaidl has changed beyond recognition. A successful businessman from a musician, he is interested in psychology

Just a few years ago, most people remembered him as a shy kid with light hair. he is from Artur Štaidl, the only son of singer Iveta Bartošová and composer Ladislav Štaidl, a self-confident man with a clear direction in life. Instead of a music career, he took the path of business and personal development.

Childhood under the scrutiny of the media

Artur was born 11. October 1996in Prague and has been the center of attention since birth. His mother Iveta Bartošová was one of the biggest stars of the nineties, Ladislav Štaidl was a recognized musician and producer. But life in the spotlight did not bring much happiness to the little boy.

Due to the constant media interest in his family, he had a difficult childhood. He often faced unpleasant reactions from classmates and public attention. "Actually, I only have one really close friend. I squeezed out the rest from school," he admitted in one of the interviews.

He withdrew into seclusion after the tragedy

In April 2014, the family received tragic news - Iveta Bartošová committed suicide. At that time Arthur was only seventeen years old. Although it was a turning point, he coped with the pain in his own way - without unnecessary publicity and with a great deal of humility.

"I deal with these things myself, in private. I never had the need to vent it to the outside," he said later on the show Tobogan.

A new path outside the world of show business

He did inherit musical talent from both parents and initially he also tried on stage - for example in the band Behind the Mirror - but he soon discovered that the art world was not for him. He gradually found himself in business and marketing. Today, he works as a sales representative for a digital marketing company.

However, he does not deny his entrepreneurial spirit – he founded a company with friends that produces chewing tobacco and also personal development and psychology. As he says himself, he tries to constantly work on himself and move on.

A new look and a new stage

Whoever remembers Arturo as a blond boy might not even recognize him today. Recently, he appears with a shaved head and a prominent moustache, tattoos adorn his entire back and he seems more confident than ever.

At the recent premiere of the musical Vampire Ball in Prague's GoJa Music Hall, he arrived alongside an attractive redhead with several tattoos. Together they seemed relaxed and in love, so it seems that even in his personal life Artur has found the balance and peace he longed for.

From a boy to a man

Today, Artur Štaidl is a man who has learned from the past and is going his own way - outside the world of fame and the boulevard that marked his childhood so much. And even though his parents are no longer here, he carries their talent, charisma and sensitivity.
