Biography
Markéta Irglová broke through as a teenager when the 2007 film Once became a critical phenomenon.

She is one half of the Swell Season, the musical duo she formed with Hansard, and the pair has released three studio albums together. Beyond the band, Irglová has published four solo records, establishing herself as an independent recording artist.
