I received formal training at The Conservatory of Music in Poland. Toured as a singer internationally with the award winning Gdansk Medical Academy Choir performing a cappella music, oratorio, gospel as well as various other musical styles.I held the position of Vocal Coach and performer at the Gdansk National Theatre.Upon arrival in Canada I became a member of Canadian recording artists Chalk Circle as a songwriter, keyboard and saxophone player.The band recorded 3 certified gold albums as well as Japanese and European releases and 8 music videos."The Great Lake", "Mending Wall" and "As The Crow Flies" included the hit songs April Fool, Me Myself and I, This Mourning, 20th Century Boy, Not in my Back Yard and Son's and Daughters.Chalk Circle toured internationally in support of these recordings as a headliner and shared the stage with bands such as Crowded House, Tears for Fears, Rush, The Waterboys and many others.On February 24, 2006 Universal Music Canada released a Best of Chalk Circle compilation as part of their ''20th Century Masters'' series.The band re-united for a sold out reunion performance in Toronto in 2006.After seven years of touring and recording with Chalk Circle, I turned my creative attention to scoring original music for film.Over the last 20 years I have worked on numerous projects including feature films, award winning documentaries, television, promotional video and commercials.My work includes the position of producer, music director, sound engineer and sound editor.I continue to enjoy working in this field.Between 2003-2006 I was a member of a group called Cybermonkey that produced three albums. The most popular, "Karma Wheels" was nominated by the JPF Music Awards as best ambient album of the year. The composition titled "Gdansk" was also nominated for best ambient song.Over the last several years I have mentored and tried to inspire many young future musicians and share my knowledge and experience of the music industry.I also train and prepare piano students for the Royal Conservatory of Music examinations, piano competitions, festivals and various recitals.I find this work very rewarding and satisfying.
