Ivan Tásler was born on 16 July 1979 in Prešov, where he attended the People's School of Arts for ten years. From 1993 to 1997 he graduated from the Jan Adam Rayman Gymnasium in Prešov and continued his studies at the Orthodox Faculty of the University of Prešov, where he completed two semesters of theology.
His father Miroslav Tásler Sr. is a musician who has performed in the Beatmakers, Roams, Nálada and other bands, while his brother Miro is also a musician. And so in Ivan, musical talent won out over a career as a priest, and after the formation of IMT Smile, the group of two brothers was followed by other big names such as Katka Knechtová, Marián Čekovský, Oskar Rózsa, Marcel Buntaj and Martin Valihora, among others.
In 2019, IMT Smile was awarded the Crystal Wing in the category of popular music, as they have already released almost twenty LP records in over thirty years of existence, along with five concert albums and several compilations and collaborations with other musicians, such as Richard Müller and Czech legend Janek Ledecky. Ivan Tásler has received numerous awards for his work, both from SOZA, Aurel and several Nightingale awards.
