About Me |

Lenka Dusilova is one of the shining stars of Czech popular music. Her 2005 CD "Mezi Svety" (Between Worlds) took the Czech music world by storm and reached gold record status within weeks of its release. "Mezi Svety" won the 2006 Czech Academy of Music Angel Award (the Czech Grammy) for best rock album and Lenka herself won as best female vocalist. The CD was produced by U.S. wunderkind Ben Yonas at Coast Recorders in San Francisco and New York with Dusilova and guitarist Martin Ledvina as co-producers. Backing them up on the CD were renowned San Francisco session musicians Jon Evans (bass) and Scott Amendola (drums). Dusilova also won the Angel Award as best female vocalist in 2000. She has been voted best female vocalist every year since 2000 by readers of the premier Czech music magazine, Report. She performs and records with her band, Secret Service. Dusilova records for Universal Music, tours regularly in the Czech Republic, and appears on stages throughout Europe. Her earlier solo efforts, "Lenka Dusilova" and "Spatrit svetlo sveta" also achieved gold record status, and the single "Pro Tebe" (For You) from her debut CD spent eight weeks in the IFPI Top 20. Since 2000 Dusilova, in addition to her solo work, has recorded and performed with the Czech Republic's preeminent folk-rock band, Czechomor. She appeared on the band's breakthrough album, "Promeny" (Transformations) produced by punkster-turned-classical-composer Jaz Coleman, who characterized her as "a great talent". Coleman merged Czechomor's electrified traditional sound with the rich symphonic power of the Czech Philharmonic Collegium. Dusilova's duet with Czechomor's Franta Cerny of the CD's title song was a fixture on the Czech charts for months in 2001 and won the Angel Award as song of the year. The "Promeny" CD went multiple platinum and won the Angel for album of the year. Dusilova began her professional singing career in 1988, joining the world-renowned children's choir Bambini di Praga at the age of 13. During the '90s, Dusilova was a member of several groups, most notably Lucie, the Czech Republic's biggest pop-rock band, playing guitar and singing on several CDs. The band opened for the 1995 Rolling Stones show in Prague's Strahov Stadium. From 1991 to 1995 she was leader of the rock band Slunicko (Little Tiny Sun), which released an eponymous CD in 1994, won the Marlboro Rock '94 competition, and opened the Open Air Gampell music festival in Switzerland. The band was nominated for the 1994 "Discovery of the Year" Angel Award. After Slunicko she formed Pusa (Kiss/Mouth) with two members of Lucie. Their song "Muka" (Wheels of Desire) was nominated for an Angel Award in 1996. She and Lucie's David Koller also collaborated on the soundtracks for two films, and several of her recent songs have been included on film soundtracks. A native of the famous western Bohemian spa town Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad), she now resides in Prague. Thanks for visiting. You are now marked on my profile visitor map! |
