"The guitar was leaning against the wall in our house, so I just picked it up, I was 9 years old." Her meeting with the French singer-songwriter Francis Cabrel was a turning point, and the song "Zamilovaná", composed by Cabrel and lyrics by Zdeněk Rytíř, is still considered her biggest hit. She also never completely abandoned her original profession as a classical guitar soloist, which eventually resulted in several LPs devoted solely to classical guitar music. Her songs dedicated to children's audiences have also been well received. All this brought her to the top ten in the popularity of Czech female singers in the Golden Nightingale poll. She also received a number of international recognitions and awards. Currently, she is also newly playing the electrophone guitar.
