Lucie Bílá
Czech singer and actress (born 1966)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucie Bílá (born Hana Zaňáková on 7 April 1966) is a Czech pop singer. According to her label, EMI Czech Republic, the singer has sold over one million albums.[1] She won the Czech musical award, Český slavík, 13 times, more than any other artist.[2]
Biography
Lucie Bílá (born Hana Zaňáková) was born in the village of Otvovice in Czechoslovakia to Czech mother and Slovak father, where she was raised and where she attended a secondary school. Before she became involved in the field of music, she trained to be a seamstress.[3]
Bílá's first experiences with show business were as a member of the rock bands Rock-Automat and Arakain. In 1980, she was noticed by Czech music producer Petr Hannig, who created her stage name Lucie Bílá (literally, Lucy White) and penned her first recorded songs. Her name change was originally due to confusion with another famous Czech singer, Hana Zagorová. For over three decades, Bílá has had tremendous professional success among Czechs in a broad range of endeavors, starring in the best-known stage musicals in the country, releasing several popular solo albums, and starring in several films and television specials. For several years in a row in the 2000s, she topped the list of the most popular Czech singers in the coveted Český slavík awards.[4]
Her personal relationships have been rocky and are perennial tabloid fodder. She and her boyfriend Petr Kratochvíl had a son, Filip, born in 1995. Not long after, he left her for beauty queen finalist Pavlína Babůrková. In 2002, she was married briefly to musician Stanislav Penk, and in 2006 she married another musician, Václav "Noid" Bárta. The pair divorced in 2008.[5] On 10 March 2026, Bílá married her longtime partner Radek Filipi.[6]
