Zagami Jericho (AKA Lenka Šimůnková, born 1999) released her ‘80s synthpop influenced but super contemporary debut record City is My Church while still at school. The mesmerising album immediately earned the Prague teen comparisons to US artist Grimes – and a nomination for Best New Artist in the latest edition of the Vinyla music awards.
