ZAGAMI JERICHO

Jiří Špičák, music director of Radio Wave, nominated female producer and singer Zagami Jericho:
“You can clearly see the progress that Zagami has made. We were thinking it may be too early in her career but then I decided to throw her into the water and see how she will deal with it because I believe that it is something that could motivate and stimulate her. She does everything by herself; she’s a solitaire. She wants to be in charge of everything – from visuals to productions and vocals. Despite her young age she tries to oversee everything and to learn everything by herself.”

Zagami Jericho has been releasing her music on Soundcloud since 15 years of age. Soon after releasing her debut, City is My Church, which made a strong impression, Zagami became a wild card of the Starter show on Radio Wave and she was nominated for the Newcomer of the year category at the Vinyla Music Awards. She then received numerous performance offers. Her music can be described as retro futuristic and you can hear influences of new wave, synth pop, chillwave, vapor wave or trap. Zagami Jericho says that she is mostly interested in contrast and she likes to mix harmonious melodies with noise. Lenka Šimůnková alias Zagami Jericho has been able to develop her music production thanks to access to a recording studio at her home. Cyber punk as well as Japanese culture inspire her. Growing up in the era of technology and in sync with social networks, Zagami is creating music and performing on the Czech scene as a solitaire, a hero of the digital era who knows what she wants.
