About Me

27, born and raised in Poland. I've lived abroad for a few years now - started in Amsterdam and settled in Glasgow. I've been writing music as long as I can remember. Patiently waiting to get signed and make a living out of it one day. In the meantime I work in a coffee shop.
I write most of my stuff on the guitar and then start fooling around with it on PC. For some reason, I seem to be unable to write a happy song - even when the lyrics are seemingly uplifting, melancholy somehow always manages to creep in.

My influences could go on and on. I should probably start with my dad - he used to be a DJ and when my mum was pregnant with me she would often go to clubs he was playing at and sit by the speakers. I grew up listening to my dad's tapes: Tina Turner, Shocking Blue, Rose Royce, The Police, etc. And, growing up in the 80s, I was inevitably exposed to the kind of pop one should be only ashamed of. These days I listen to lots of things - some of them you can see on the left, others you probably might figure out listening to my music.
You're more than welcome to have a look, listen and share your opinion,

FRESKO.
