About

Jiří Zmožek (born 21 February 1943 in Otrokovice) is a Czech composer, singer and lyricist whose songs form the backbone of Czech pop music from the 1980s. After studying piano and French horn at the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava, he became the go-to hitmaker for Karel Gott, Hana Zagorová, Marie Rottrová and Michal Tučný, among others. As a performer he broke through with his own song Už mi lásko není dvacet let (1987), and in 1985 he organised the charity project Nejhezčí dárek, which brought together fifty Czech and Slovak singers.
