Jana was born in Chrášťany, just outside Prague. She first took piano lessons, and at the age of 13 she started classical singing, which she attended at an elementary art school in Prague. She participated in a number of concerts, music shows and gained experience from many beautiful collaborations. At grammar school, she was a member of the choir, which is where her love for polyphony comes from.
The dream of multi-voice then materialized when playing with the Dum Doobie Doobie Band, whose repertoire includes multi-voice rock and roll of the 60s.

After returning from maternity leave, a surprise awaited her in the form of a “front-frau” position in the band The Dixie Hot Licks (New-Orleans jazz style), which exposed her to another musical landscape: improvisation and scat. He is mainly on the road with the band in the summer and roams not only Czech stages but also foreign festivals (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lithuania…), which also have the world’s biggest jazz stars on the program.
She started teaching singing after completing her studies at the International Conservatory. He teaches adults and children, Czech and English, and respects the individuality of students. The human voice fascinates her and she continues to educate herself at various voice or composition workshops and online seminars with Czech stars in the field as well as foreign lecturers.
And when he has some alone time left, he hangs out with a looper and layers. 🙂
