My love for music and my musicianship is most evident as a jazz singer, but I enjoy singing many other styles as well. I am anchored in Prague, where I have the best ground for my jazz activities in the Czech Republic, but when the opportunity comes, I will go to the other side of the country to sing. I like to perform and make music as “art”, but I also enjoy performing at social events, in restaurants and bars, when it’s more about musicianship in its craft form. I always want to enjoy every performance as much as possible, including working with the musicians in the band and interacting with the people we play for.
From piano to microphone, from rock to jazz
My life has been connected with music since I was a little girl. Thanks to my mother, a piano teacher, I started learning to play this beautiful instrument when I was four years old. I first got behind the microphone in high school – the rock band I was originally supposed to play keyboards in somehow couldn’t find a singer. I found my way to jazz gradually. Through studying classical piano and singing in a bar band where everything was tailored to what our audience knew and wanted to hear, I began to realize how important it was for me to be free in music. Then when I discovered the world of jazz standards, swing music and big bands, it was a done deal. I didn’t study jazz or singing, and after coming to Prague at the age of twenty-three I started building my musical micro-world from scratch. I still have a lot of musical dreams, but many of them have already come true. I am grateful for this and look forward to all the musical adventures that await me in the future.
