Born in 1970 to a Czech mother and an Arab father. He is best known as the frontman of the electro-industrial band Vanessa, founded in 1990 with Daniel Rodný. Vanessa quickly gained notoriety for its dark, aggressive sound, blending electronic body music (EBM) with industrial elements, and for Hauser’s provocative lyrics that explore themes like societal decay and nihilism​(.
Hauser’s career started with post-punk experimentation in the band Čínská Čtvrť, which he formed in the late 1980s. However, Vanessa brought him into the spotlight of the Czech alternative music scene. The band’s early albums, such as Flashback (1992) and Monogamy (1993), became cult classics for their intense sound and anti-establishment themes​.
In addition to Vanessa, Hauser has pursued solo projects under the alter ego Bruno Ferrari, where he leans into a cabaret-style performance art, mixing electro-pop with dark humor and satire. His work often draws on his persona as an enfant terrible, using shock value as a tool to question societal norms​.
Despite facing occasional public backlash and censorship, Hauser’s work has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in mainstream Czech culture, making him a prominent figure of defiance and creative freedom in post-communist Eastern Europe​.
