His work in songwriting mixes elements from indie pop and ambient music, helping to create a unique and distinictive sound. Žižka has released music under a previous stage name which garnered much early success in Czech pop radio charts.

Czechia in the Eurovision Song Contest
Czechia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 13 times. After three years of very poor results (2007, 2008, 2009), they decided to withdraw from the competition for five years, with only 10 points in their Eurovision account. But their hope for Eurovision never died, so they returned to the contest again in 2015, as well as the following years.
In 2016, Czechia qualified for the Grand Final for the first time. Their best result was in 2018, when Mikolas Josef secured a 6th place finish with the song "Lie To Me."
