Valentina Voz\u0148uk is a talented pianist, singer and actress. She was born on 21 June 2014 in Prague, where she lives and works. The list of activities and achievements of this young artist would take several pages of text. We will try to squeeze the most important ones into the following lines. But first, let's get acquainted...<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valentina showed interest in music from a very early age when she started singing and trying to play the piano. Her older brother Vladislav was studying piano at the time and she hummed the songs he was practicing. Her parents, impressed by her talent, enrolled her in singing and piano lessons, which she has been attending diligently since she was four years old. She first \u201ecorrected\u201c pieces by famous composers such as Mozart and Smetana, whom she was just learning to play the piano, and later began to write her own compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is a pupil of Kladsk\u00e1 Primary School (a school with extended language teaching - a faculty school of the Pedagogical Faculty of Charles University in Vinohrady), where she develops her talent for studying foreign languages. She is fluent in English and German and, thanks to her passion for opera, she can't wait to learn Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pianist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven-year-old Valentina Voz\u0148uk's achievements are redeemed by playing the piano for several hours every day. But her diligence is bearing fruit.

She was also the winner of the professional piano category at the Golden Piano Talents International Piano Competition in North Macedonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it doesn't stop there.

At home, she was also the overall winner of the Allegro Competition in the instrumental category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer, composer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valentina Voz\u0148uk played, for example, the role of little Cosette in the musical Les Miserables<\/em> at the GOJA Theatre and from March 2026 she plays Little Anna in the musical Ice Kingdom<\/em> at the Karl\u00edn Musical Theatre. In the theatre she met Felix Slov\u00e1\u010dek Jr., with whom she sang the song Free Karma<\/em>, whose author is Valentinka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Christmas song A Confused Christmas<\/em> was played on the radio and met with positive feedback. This inspired her to write an original musical with a Christmas theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is also a composer - as a composer, she won the Luxembourg International Competition Artistes en Herbe 2025. She has composed, among other things, her own musical My Haunted World<\/em>, which premiered on the small stage of the Karl\u00edn Theatre.

The upcoming editorial interview with this exceptionally talented and promising artist will focus on her relationship to music and singing, her life's journey to fulfil her dreams and the sacrifices she has had to make for her talent so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
