Our voices fit together because they are both rocky, we're both from a rock backgroundMarta Jandová
Marta was born in Prague into an artistic family. In 1993, she moved to Germany and started singing in a rock band called Die Happy. In 2000, they released ‘Supersonic Speed’, the first of their eight studio albums. The band has received several nominations for the major Echo and Eins Live Krone music awards and have played more than 1,000 concerts.
In 2011, Marta sang ‘Hit The Goal’ with her sister, which became the official anthem of the German national women's football team for the FIFA Women's World Cup.
Václav Noid Bárta's interest in music began at the age of four. He learnt to play the piano, flute and clarinet and later the guitar, bass and percussion instruments. Over the years he has collaborated as a composer, arranger, and singer with some of the Czech Republic’s leading musicians.
In recent years he has performed roles in a number of stage musicals, composed and sang the title song to the television series The Mall, and made an appearance on TV show Weddings in Venice.
