I am a vocalist based in Berlin, Germany.
I compose and sing music like folk-pop, jazz, and experimental improv.
I was born in Germany (1997) but raised in Poland. In a city called Torun. Close to the Vistula river, surrounded by gingerbread.
There’s a moment captured on camera (when I was a little bean) where my mom says to my dad “I’m telling you, she’ll be singing”.
And here we are now.
In the early days, I managed to discover the music world on my own with a little help from Beyonce, Rihanna, Queen. I developed my style by mimicking sounds around me and it got so out of hand that I started calling myself a chameleon. Copy and paste style. I enjoyed that a lot.
Today I sound more like myself. I stopped copying and it turned out quite good. For now, that is it. I’ll add more later.
