Katar\u00edna Knechtov\u00e1 is a Slovak singer, composer, lyricist, as well as pianist, guitarist and drummer. She comes from Pre\u0161ov, graduated from the Gymnasium of Jan Adam Rayman and also graduated from the Folk Art School in piano and sang in the ensemble Pre\u0161ovch\u010dat\u00e1 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age of fifteen she started her musical career in the band IMT Smile. The then seventeen-year-old Ivan T\u00e1sler, the leader of the band, was interested in her during her studies at the Pre\u0161ov gymnasium and offered her a position as a vocalist. Soon after, the group set off on a major Czechoslovak tour as the support act for the legendary Olympik .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1997 he founded a new band Peha with drummer Martin Migas and guitarist Karel Sivak. The success is immediate and the song \u201eRemote Control\u201c becomes the most played song in Slovakia. Aurel for 2005 became a triumph for Peha, where they won four awards: best singer, best group, best song \u201eZa tebou\u201c and best album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knechtov\u00e1 left Peha in 2008 and embarked on a solo career. For the film BATHORY by Juraj Jakubisko, she composed the song \u201eMuoj Bo\u017ee\u201c , inspired by medieval psalms and partly in Old Slavonic, in 2007. Jakubisko directed a music video for the song with Katarina. The song was extremely popular, winning Slovak music charts and winning the prestigious Aurel award for the best song of the year. Despite this, it was not included in the final film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to concerts in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Katar\u00edna has also composed film music, for example for the film ISABEL and the student film ZEM JE GU\u013dAT\u00c1 (THE EARTH IS GULAT\u00c1). Her dream project was to found a girl group The Cubes, but she did not sing in it. In her own words, she founded it so that she could play drums in it. The group released an album and a music video of the same name \u201eTomorrow\u201c in 2012. The Cubes supported the band Garbage and Knechtova herself supported the Cranberries and Depeche Mode at concerts in Bratislava and Prague. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katar\u00edna has received numerous awards, such as the Aurel and OTO awards for the best singer of the year, or the Silver Nightingales. Apart from her music, she also likes to experiment with her appearance and often surprises especially with the colour and length of her hair. Although her latest album has an English version, she prefers Slovak in her work, is involved in projects to promote Slovak products and still lives in her native Pre\u0161ov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
