NIKA is a singer-songwriter who mixes elements of jazz, pop, folk and alternative music in her work. A graduate of the Janáček Conservatory in composition, she made her debut in the spring of 2022 with the album Flesh & Soulwhich gained attention for its rawness and emotional depth. Her lyrics reflect on personal relationships, the artifice of the modern world, the illusion of perfection and themes of manipulation, hypocrisy and psychological or physical violence.

For her debut album Flesh & Soul she won the Moravian-Silesian Jantar Art Award in the popular music category, became the winner of the Junior category in the JazzFruit competition and performed at prestigious festivals such as Colours of Ostrava, Smetanova Litomyšl, Prague Sounds or the Czech Music Crossroads showcase festival, as well as in Paris-Prague jazz club in Paris or Jazzclub Tonne in Dresden.

In autumn 2024 she presented a single and a music video I Deserve To Be Calmwhich launched her second studio album Elsewhere, released in March 2025.

The event is realized with the financial support of the town of Mariánské Lázně and the Karlovy Vary Region.
