Story

I started my musical journey back in 2002 when I started to learn to play the guitar. In 2005, I made some friends at school who were willing to put some action in our boring countryside life and we all had some contact with Heavy Metal. Since I was the only one who actually enjoyed singing in a town where everybody was very shy about showing I was the best candidate. In the same year, we started writing songs with the technique and inspiration we had and that went from that time. I played with Destiny Call from 2005 to 2012 counting with 4 albums, 2 singles, a best of, several concerts worldwide and a live DVD in Warsaw. In 2013 I moved on due to the impossibility of regular rehearsals with the band members of Destiny Call and that's when Moonlich was born, counting with 2 studio albums and a live DVD. In 2018 I started writing new songs and started a solo carreer which has led to 3 albums. Nowadays I take part with some musical projects like my most recent one The Book Keeper with one debut album called Inorganic Life.
