Misha Stradějová was born in “the mid 1980s” in what is now the Czech Republic, moved to the outskirts of Stuttgart in Southern Germany as a child and, like her mother, married a local fellow, hence her married name Singer. Though the singing came way before wedlock, having turned professional when she was 15, her first English language record arrived in 2019 with a gutsy cover of Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born showstopper, Shallow.

Talking of voices, Celine Dion “is a huge idol”, and Misha’s a bit of a big lunged diva sort herself — though rather than an endless stream of power ballads she prefers to operate within the realms of dance music, a genre she knows all too well. She likes to listen to Cascada, Snap, Lasgo and La Bouche… and her brand new single, Diddly Squat, has been co-written by none other than electronic pop royalty the Pet Shop Boys.
