Zuzana Miková

Zuzana Miková is a Czech singer and songwriter who divides her time between the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Her extensive musical career spans numerous Czech and international projects. One of the highlights is Rock The Opera, a unique project by German conductor Friedemann Riehle that blends rock music with a symphony orchestra.

She has performed in prestigious European venues, including the Vienna State Opera and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus amphitheater in Athens. She has shared the stage with rock icons such as Jeff Scott Soto (former frontman of Journey and vocalist on the first two albums by Yngwie Malmsteen) and Ronnie Romero (former frontman of Rainbow). The project has also featured Ian Gillan, legendary frontman of Deep Purple, Joe Lynn Turner, and Alannah Myles, known worldwide for her hit Black Velvet.

Early in her career, she gained notable recognition in vocal and songwriting competitions, including Mladá píseň Jihlava, the TV show Rozjezdy pro hvězdy (1st place), Děčínská nota (2nd place), and Czechtalent (3rd place). She has been involved in several music projects, including her own band ZU-ZA, which gained attention in the RGM competition.

She also made her mark on the jazz scene, performing alongside Antonín Gondolán at Prague’s iconic Reduta Jazz Club. In 2011, she recorded a cover of Léto s tebou for the tribute album Jiří Schelinger – Czech-Slovak Tribute 2011.

In 2012, she joined the Czech leg of Chris Norman’s (ex-Smokie) The Hits Tour 2012 as his support act. During the tour, she presented her debut album Tisíce tváří, accompanied by the all-female band The Apples, with whom she still performs.

She is currently collaborating with British producers Paul Sutin and Pears MacIntyre from London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios and continues to release original Czech-language songs with her band ONLAIN.
