Summary
28 Years in music. 12 Years in business. This is how I learned to integrate these two worlds. Connect the dots. Since 2014, as a Warner Music Poland artist, I have released 3 original albums and have been actively involved in building my own brand. Since 2022, I have been involved in A&R activities, first as A&R Director for Agora Muzyka, today for Sukces Pisany Szminką. In the meantime, I graduated in law, focusing master's thesis on the issue of copyright in music.
