“Sports or music” was a question she got from her parents at the age of six, when she was a very energetic kid. Music was the immediate answer, quickly followed by the choice of piano instrument.

Since 2022, she released an album “The Great Hope”, ten singles, has written several songs with world-class singers, created reworks and piano arrangements of popular songs, Original Score for a theatre play, and a concept album album “Isolde” alongside producer OS.SO, which was featured on numerous Polish and international radio stations, including KEXP Seattle.
