about
A charismatic vocalist born in Warsaw in 1990, with an exceptionally warm and distinctive tone of voice. Often described as “Poland’s finest musical export,” she represents the country at its very best. She has released five solo albums to date. She studied piano and attended the vocal department of the renowned music school on Bednarska Street in Warsaw. She was awarded scholarships to the University of Miami Frost School of Music and the LA Music Academy, where she trained under outstanding artists such as Tierney Sutton (an eight-time Grammy nominee) and Dorian Holley (known for his work with Michael Jackson and *The Tonight Show*). She has collaborated with some of the biggest names in international jazz. Musicians featured on her albums include John Scofield, Randy Brecker, Chris Potter, and Aaron Parks. A turning point in her career came in 2009, when she performed at the Jazz Jamboree festival in the Congress Hall in Warsaw as a guest of Michał Urbaniak. Her phenomenal performance led to her first recording contract with the prestigious Sony Music label. She now has five albums to her name, two of which have been certified Gold.
