Already before graduating from the Prague Music Academy he was off ered his fi rst position as solo double bass player at the Residentie Orchester, Den Haag, in 1991. He later joined the Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart. Božo Paradžik is fi rst and foremost known for his solo work. At the age of 16 he made his fi rst recordings for the then Yugoslav broadcasting association. Between 1996 and 2001 Paradžik recorded a series of CDs for the SWR. He achieved worldwide fame with his solo CD for the EMI label, the only CD ever to have been recorded with works for solo double bass. As a soloist Božo Paradžik has appeared with many orchestras and chamber music partners in the musical centres of Germany, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic and the entire «ex-Yugoslavia».
