ABOUT
12 years ago I discovered Polish folk music and I have managed some of the leading Polish folk bands since.
I’ve organised and coordinated concerts and tours in Poland, Europe, Japan, the UAE, Korea, and the USA. I also occasionally brought international artists to Poland. I applied for cultural grants and received them. I cooperated with media, organizers, festival producers, venues, and cultural institutions worldwide. I’ve been acting as a PR specialist, a lawyer, an accountant, a chief of logistics, a mediator, a tour manager – you name it. I even released a couple of music albums. My background in literature, translation, event management, real estate, and restaurant management did help.
In 2021 I was a part of the production team of MUJI’s 26th music album with Polish traditional music. In 2022 I was on the jury of the Womex World Music Expo as Womex Samurai.

In Polish Master of Ceremonies
an agency and a label that brought together top bands of the ethnic scene in Poland – from closest to wild improvisational playing of village masters (Janusz Prusinowski Kompania, Tęgie Chłopy) to avant-garde, experimental, jazz or classical approach to tradition (TRANSatlantyk, Tuleje, Maniucha & Ksawery). These bands are ambassadors of Polish music abroad, prize winners with best-reviewed albums. They can celebrate a wedding in the barn, play in a jazz club, philharmonic, world music festival, grab the audience of a fancy alternative event… and they did. Experience their music!
