Biography

He's a son of a bassist Grzegorz Zioła. He has an older sister.[1] He started learning piano in music school at the age of six, but he stopped in 5th grade.[2][3] He graduated from the High School No. 2 in Opole.[4]

Career

In 2008 he won first prize in the Piosenkobranie competition.[2] In 2012 he had his television debut as a 16-year-old in the Polish edition of X Factor. Although his performance of "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse was liked by the judges,[5] he didn't make it to the next stage. After the show he met a music producer Marcin Bors and they started a collaboration.[1]

In 2015 he appeared on the Spring Break Showcase Festival & Conference in Poznań. There, he met Justyna Święs and the band Rysy, with whom he collaborated on a track "Przyjmij brak".[6] In the same year he performed on Open’er Festival, Warsaw Musik Week[7] and Europejskie Targi Muzyczne "Co Jest Grane?" in Warsaw,[8] and in August he performed with Rysy on Tauron Nowa Muzyka (with the track "Przyjmij Brak"). In October/November he published his debut single – "Podobny".[9] April 22, 2016 was the date of the premiere of his first LP Revolving Door,[10][11] with lyrics by Karolina Kozak, Gaba Kulka i Radek Łukasiewicz.[1] In 2017 he was nominated to 2017 Fryderyki Awards in the categories of fonographic debut of the year and pop album of the year;[12] in April he won in the first of those two categories.[13]
