Boris Carloff (born Milan Havrda; 17 September 1974 in Brno) is a Czech musician, composer and record producer. In 2012 he released the Apollo Award winning album The Escapist, followed by Morphosis in 2014.
Boris Carloff studied classical violin and his first band Palm Beat was formed in 2003. He later played with several other projects and as producer he collaborated with acts including Kryštof and Wohnout. His stage name was inspired by English actor Boris Karloff. His first solo EP Good Stuff was released by Red Salamanda Records in 2004 and his debut full-length album The Escapist was released in 2012. The songs reflect on the passing of Carloff's brother and father in the two years prior. It includes guest performances by Doug Yowell and Ghetto Priest. The album won Apollo Award for the Best Album of the Year. He was also nominated in five categories of the Czech Anděl Awards, while winning two: 'Video of The Year' for Falling and 'The Best Electronic Album'.
