Born in 1986…

Music has always been one of the most important part of my live. I find music the best way to express myself. That is because it’s not only the sense of hearing that it affects, but also the sense of touch and sight.

Started learning playing the guitar in primary school. Studying in high school I started to attend Wrocławska Szkoła Jazzu I Muzyki Rozrywkowej where I was taught by Artur Lesicki. After graduation, I countinued studies in the Academy of Music in Katowice where I obtained bachelor degree in 2010.

The music style I’ve always found the most interesting is the contemporary improvised music - dyssonant, spaceful, using wide range of sounds and definitely acoustic. Those who inspired me most were: John Zorn (esp. “Masada”), John Scofield, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, Adam Rogers, Ben Monder, Charles Gayle, Billy Harper, McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter. Beside all great jazz musicians, I’m constantly drawing inspiration from other kinds of music like reggae, rock or classical music.

As a quartet we were awarded the first price in “II  Young Jazz Music Contest in Świdnik” in Poland.

I am still working very intensively on my musical, compositional skills and style. I am sure that the energy of my music can move a vast audience.

Nowadays I am fulfilling myself artistically playing in a quartet with great musicians:

Jarosław Bothur-tenor sax

Michał Kapczuk-double bass

Grzegorz Masłowski-drums
