From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Filip Topol (born June 12, 1965 in Prague) is a Czech songwriter, singer and pianist.
He is the younger brother of Jáchym Topol, son of Josef Topol and grandson of Karel Schulz.
In his country, the Czech Republic, he is best known as the leader of the rock band Psí Vojáci. He has been a member of the band since its beginnings in 1979, but he has also pursued a solo career.
Topol was trained playing the piano from a young age and introduced to the Soviet intellectual and artistic resistance while still being a child. He made his public debut at age 12, at the first performance of the Plastic People of the Universe's Passion Play - in front of Václav Havel.
He is also a (lyrics) writer. His song Žiletky (Razor-blades) inspired a movie of the same name.
