About Me

ABOUT ME

Allright, so I am a musican from Poland playing vibraphone and drums. Love jazz music also blues, rock and any good kind of stuff. I already finished my master and looking for some place on this planet called Earth. If I don't I will go to some other one, I don't know, maybe Venus (I heard that a lot of women are there).

I'm playing in few bands (and now product placement), one of theme it's called Early Birds (you can check it on facebook and put a like on) and trying to leave with music which is kind of hard when you playing on such a strange instrument... BUT there is a cool way to make a business and look for a fantastic adventures and great experience - street music!

So that's how I travel a lot and you guys need to know that I'm adictive to travelling and I love to share an experience from travels, you know, talk about that. Once I heard a nice sentence - "If you doubt - travel" what became one of my motto.

Besides music, I'm interested in winter sport (love skiing and ski jumping) and something less original - I am a football fun. And those things what almost everybody loves, you know like movies, tv series, books, cars, dinners, breakfast, cats and dogs. Oh I love dogs. I also love cats but unfortunately I'm alergic to them little bit. Don't worry, it's not so serious but also not very pleasant. You know, sneezing, scratching eyes.

I decided to not put here more info cuz I prefer to keep when I meet you guys. Oh I hope I meet you:)
See you all over the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ok, so I told you that I like to travel with my instrument. I did a lot of journeys with a vibraphone and played in many cities (mostly in Germany), but my favourite journey was in 2016.

So I was participating in one of vibraphone contest in Italy, but I had not money to get there and to leave there. So I decided to take my instrument and leave Poland one week before contest to earn money for journey. I have started in Dresden, where I was for some time and then I drove to Italy. After comptetition I decided to visit Barcelona, so I was travelling through Europe (West Coast of Italy and South Coast of France) stopping in small cities and villages to put my instrument on street and earn money to continue my trip. It was pretty fun and pretty stresful cuz I was alone almost without anything, I slept in my car, I took showers on beaches and you know, I felt that I was king of the world. When I reached Barcelona I decided to go to north part of Spain, so I did same thing. It was more difficult cuz Spain is pretty hot countrey. But I did it anyway. For me it was amazing because I learned a lot beeing there alone. Things like 'always accept a situation, try to find a way out, never give up' and more and more.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United States
