Alec Sun Drae

about

Alec Sun Drae started singing long before she even started speaking. At least that’s what her mother says. She gave her first public performance at the tender age of 6 when she was a soloist in a church choir directed by Jozef Mozdzer, father of a famous Polish jazz pianist Leszek Mozdzer who at that time was also a member of the choir. She continued to sing with the choir until its split four years later. She would take part in every single song contest she heard of always scooping the main prize. At the age of 18 she joined a reggae group called Rooty Speech with whom she sang for nearly 3 years. While she was the lead singer her sister Monika Kur was the backing vocalist. After just three years of performing with the group they were snatched by another band, this time it was a funk group called Vo.Kool.Ski with whom 2 years later, just before her departure to London Alec Sun Drae recorded a cover version of a polish hit from the 80’s titled Jestes Lekiem Na Cale Zlo. Originally the song was sung by Krystyna Pronko, but Alec Sun Drae’s version was desribed by the critics as better than the original and became an instant hit landing at No 2 spot of Radio RMF.FM charts in Novemeber 2001 beating Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out Of My Head and even Michael Jackson's Rock My World. Due to the popularity of the track Vo.Kool.Ski have been compared to the Fuggees and Alec Sun Drae has been called the Polish Lauryn Hill. Two years on the song is still being playe
