About Me

My name is Martina Fiserová, musicians have been always calling me Tina

i was born in Prague on May 23. 1983.
My dad is a guitar player who was among the leading music forces during the 70's with his fusion group called THE IMPULS. My mum used to perform with him in a band called FISERGANG, playing a very specific latin music of Tania Maria and Flora Purim. Although I never thought of music as my possible profession, and have been having some attempts to give it all up, life keeps on carrying me on the path full of interesting people around music and giving me chances that i can't refuse.
I have been playing the classical piano since the age of 6, and after the high school graduation i decided to learn more about the jazz piano and was studying the classical and jazz piano at the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory for three years. Since 2002 I have been studying the "bel canto" voice technique privately with one of the best Prague vocal coaches Hana Pecková, and I had the chance to attend summer jazz workshops under the leadership of UK jazz singers (Fionna Duncan, Sophie Bancroft, Gina Rae, Sue McCreeth).
I started to perform in 2002 with a fusion-band called BLUESENSE, which was playing mostly original songs. Modern mainstream jazz projects followed - KUSH trio, MAFIQ (Garana jazzfestival 2004 in Romania). Then I joined the legendary IMPULS, where I became a regular guest.
The number of my guest appearances grows: i cooperated with Laco Deczi and his Celula New York (Burgthann jazzfestival, Agharta jazzfestival Praha,etc.), the Phishbacher trio (international jazzfestival Piestany, Lanskroun - jazz a little otherwise, Agharta jazzfestival Praha,etc), Jan Korínek and Groove (soul-acid-jazz), Kolín BigBand and during the Prague Jazz Open festival i had the chance to perform with the hungarian Bólla quartet or the brasilian Galbassini group. I also did some recording sessions with young croatian artists (Edip Mamu, Leut Magnetik). In fall 2006 i was honoured to perform as a special "birthday" guest of ms.Hana Hegerová in Janáckovo Divadlo in Brno.
At the present time I sing with a pop-jazz band called Let's Do It Tonight, a band which plays music adored by its members (e.g. late Miles Davis or Roberta Flack). I keep on appearing with Jan Korinek and Groove (the best school ever) and i am very happy to give birth to a new project with Kuba Dolezal - Seven Days, accoustic pop-jazz music based on our original songs.
