About Me

I got my myspace layouts from www.gotomylayouts.comOn the 17th of March, year 1988 in a small hospital in Warsaw a piercing scream could have been heard by nearly anybody who was there on that day, less than a mile away..yes that was me-Patricia Tshilanda Kazadi- cursing while comin' out to this world, thinkin' who the hell dares to distrub my peace:) yeah...nothin' more comfy and safe than the place near the mother's heart.. always sayin' no- before even hearing the question, always a joka, always had to be kept busy, always everywhere actually.. yeah and naaah it ain't the 'always women diapers' commercial:) Since a kiddo' I knew I want to be a performer no matter of what kind- inspired to it by Michael Jackson whom I thought would never age and will be my boyfriend when I grow up....so clever..NOT...:) at the age of two while waitin' 'till my mom is done with sum shoe shoppin' I started to dance in front of a mirror. A woman came to me and asked if I would like to dance on TV..wasn't a big talka' at that time so just shrugged my shoulders and got back to practisin' my dance moves. After a week I was already in my first music video as a so-colled FRANKENSTEIN-'cuz of my haircut...do not ask for details:) kept on dancin', performin' in polish theatres with a kids acting-dancing group called TINTILO for many years..although I loved to dance, sing and act when the show started or the camera went on I got shy and couldn't move a freakin' bone so they kicked me out of there. After some time I got back and danced there 'till I was 11. At this age I started working on a big project(that's what I thought at that time) polish musical directed by Janusz Jozefowicz called 'the Peter Pan' it was planned for me to play the role of TIGER LILY..but as I couldn't come over my shyness after a year of preparation I was kicked off again and the role was given to my (now) friend who has played this role millon ways better than I would do, now she is still acting and doing it very well- love Nat:* . During that time I learned (as a kid) how the WORLD is and what are the rules to survive in this sh** wasn't a nice experience at all and still is in my mind somewhere. I learned how to fight for my rights and I'm fighting through my life, not always winning though...Since that day TIGER LILY is in me, in my blood and in my heart..like a virus that reminds me of who I am , what's my worth and how things work. But let's get back to the story. After being kicked off I had a time of full rebellion- got myself a pink hair then went bald, wore some echidnas, always black and rarely smiling. To cut the stress I went to a dancing group called VOLT where I learned AGAIN how things are and got myself into some rough training for polish abd european dance championships(silver in both:))...all that by accident..it was cool though and I've met a lot of good, interesting and cool people whom I love much much much (ajlonizi/mruff/zwierz...)sheaaa!! 'cuz of health problems had to leave it so sad about it I went to a club with my sis'grl'Natalie. A drunk guy came up to me and asked if I sung...hell no at that time I was so "shhh don't tell anybody" about singin' so I said- I'M NOT SURE. After a week we recorded a track- he had a group called CREDO- luv u guys:* the track was heard by the best polish rapper- Mes:) with whom I later on co-worked and still am( under the nickname TRISH). Soon at the age of 15 I signed my first TV contract- and as 16-year old I started to act in a TV SERIE- "The test of life" (and still am) as Anna Chelmicka. Before that I had some episode roles- not imortant to mention. During that time I was still recordin' sum tracks here and there as a featuring one I'm proud of the most is the track from "the Doublers/Dublerzy Soundtrack" which I recorded with Barry Solone,composed by Maciej Zielinski and is a cute, sweet luv song- LOVE IS ALL AROUND US. Since then I started to sing more often, before I was more just composing them songs but never showing them to anybody. I've been composing music since I can remember but the first one I recorded with a camera is from the time when I was 11 the song was a rap song about racism.....crazy kiddo'.. you may think what inspired me to write such a song...firstly I saw Alanis Morissette's MTV UNPLUGGED concert and I cried cried cried she arose in me so much emotion that I couldn't handle- love you Alanis:* than after using the whole bunch of tissues I understood that music is what I love and I can't just let it go.Since that day I wrote more than 100 songs not all of them are recorded and not all of them have lyrics(i'm not a big poet). Each deal with something that happened to me, to people around me or to people in general.My soulmate, best friend and diary is my piano..the same one through all these years. My second passion is learning foreign languages. I speak english, french and italian, my mother language is polish. As a 17 year-old I signed a deal with TVN and was(still am) giving english lessons- kinda'- on TVN LINGUA as their youngest tv presenter. Now I'm 19 just passed my finals at high-school w8tin' anticipatin' the resullts...what is still to come I don't know...I've recorded my first album(DEMO CD) on which there are 10 tracks some of them you can hear on this site...there is a lot of stuff going on in my head though...hope to achieve as many goals as possible so - big up!!!!! 1 luv...Life is beautiful and..SHORT so enjoy it!
