I’ve been playing the drums since I was 7; I’m 13 now.
It actually started by accident. I had a problem with my vestibular system, and I couldn’t even ride a bike because I kept falling over. I got a drum set, and at first I didn’t feel like playing at all. I’d sit down for 5–10 minutes, and then I’d have had enough. But one day I sat down, started playing, and somehow it just stuck.
Now I’m studying with Riccardo Merlini and have mentors like Eloy Casagrande, Eric Moore, and Thomas Lang. I’m most into rock, metal, and death metal—that’s my vibe.
I participated in the Polish edition of Must Be The Music, as well as the Czechoslovakian and Polish versions of Got Talent, and I was a finalist in international drumming competitions. As a 9-year-old, I played in Rockin’1000 (Wielkie Granie) and was also featured on Poland’s biggest radio station in the XD project.
On a daily basis, I play on Varus Drums gear, with whom I collaborate. Drumming is everything to me, and I feel like this is just the beginning.
