Reznicek was born in Dresden and started playing bass in the 1970s. His role model was Paul McCartney. His first band was not allowed to play in East Germany, so he took music lessons. His teacher recommended him to study music and he was accepted at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden. During his studies, he played in various jazz and pop bands until he joined the Klaus Lenz Big Band. In 1979 he met the musicians with whom he founded the band Pankow in 1981. Reznicek was also often booked as a studio musician. Being one of only a few fretless bass players in the GDR, he was asked by Silly to record a fretless version of their successful song Bataillon d'amour in 1986. Soon afterward he became a permanent member of the band. Reznicek also played with Gitarreros, King Køng, East Blues Experience, and in the band of Joachim Witt.
Since 2003, he has been performing with Pankow again and accompanies them on tour. With Silly he has performed regularly again since 2007. Rezniceks' son Sebastian has been playing drums with Silly since 2005.
Reznicek has written several bass textbooks[1] and has been a lecturer at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber since 1991.[1] He lives in Berlin-Rahnsdorf.
