DJ/Producer Pavel Stuchlik Masters the Art of Business

Tireless. Effervescent. Driven. Businessman and serial entrepreneur, Pavel Stuchlik, is not a man who takes "no" for an answer. Whether racing around the world aboard his private jet on business, commanding audiences from behind the DJ booth (under the alias NOA | AON) at a jam-packed nightclub, or leading an exhilarating fitness session, Stuchlik harnesses his never-dwindling geyser of enthusiasm and propels himself ever forward.

Not content to tackle the cut-throat world of electronic dance music as solely a DJ/producer or even as a promoter, Pavel Stuchlik is doing what few other DJs can afford to do at this stage in their careers: he's investing his own money to become part-owner in some of the industry's most well-known venues and businesses in key markets. Following the close of San Francisco's beloved Ruby Skye nightclub in June of 2017, the venue has been rebranded and rebuilt and it reopens this spring as August Hall, an establishment into which Stuchlik has invested considerable sums. Miami's South Beach is home to the annual Miami Music Week (formerly WMC or Winter Music Conference), another market Stuchlik enters financially with his involvement in the South Beach location of OrangeTheory Fitness under his Tomorrow's Vision parent company. Stuchlik resides in Atlanta when not globe-trotting and his latest Atlanta investment includes the newly-opened BACH fitness center/yoga studio/coffee shop. Additionally, Stuchlik is in the process of raising capital for the re-launch of one of Atlanta's most recognized nightclubs.

As of this writing, Stuchlik has sold his holdings in the San Francisco and New York City locations of the OrangeTheory Fitness franchise. Stuchlik's sale of Atmasphere in Buckhead, GA, has also recently been completed. The Atmasphere brand has instead been transformed into an online business focusing on wellness-based travel and workshops around the world.

As an electronic dance music DJ and producer, Pavel Stuchlik goes by the alias, NOA | AON. Onstage and able to rock the crowds from behind-the-decks as a DJ, NOA | AON played to a sellout crowd recently as he shared the billing with GRAMMY winning producer, Cedric Gervais, at Time Nightclub in Costa Mesa, CA. NOA | AON's current studio album is titled trans//cen//DANCE and it has been well received by the dance music community. The first single from that album is, "Take Your Chance." The next singles to be released include NOA | AON's "Voyage," "Hanafi," and "Get Primal." The next several months will see NOA | AON traveling home to his native Czech Republic to perform and spend time in the studio finishing-up his long-await album of "modern healing music," with the first single anticipated as "D-XTC" (which stands for "digital ecstasy"). Together with frequent Atlanta-based collaborators, Richie Nuzz and Jon Kunis, NOA | AON aims to finish and release an E.P. of cover songs and more. With Pavel Stuchlik, one gets the distinct feeling that there's always something else brewing.

NOA | AON (real name, Pavel Stuchlik) possesses an unquenchable thirst for personal fulfillment and a drive that constantly propels him forward. After a life-threatening bout of the Epstein-Barr virus caused Stuchlik to quit his first career as a professional cyclist, he turned his attention to the world of business, launching Pavel's Vision, a successful enterprise selling carbon-fiber bicycle parts online. International real estate ventures soon followed, but Stuchlik was destined for America. Applying his lethal combination of charm, grit and a "never accept failure" ethic, Pavel was soon a leading franchise owner in OrangeTheory Fitness, the multimillion-dollar wellness franchise boasting more than 1,000 locations worldwide. By the age of 21, Stuchlik's net worth had already exceeded $1 million. With music therapy playing a major role in OrangeTheory Fitness' popularity, Stuchlik increasingly found his passion drawn to music and the neuroscience behind it. As the DJ/performer NOA | AON, Stuchlik has performed at nightclubs in Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Honolulu, Costa Mesa and beyond. As for music festivals, NOA | AON has performed at Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, and at Imagine Festival in Hampton, Georgia, with more on the horizon.
