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.

In October/November he published his debut single – "Podobny".[9] 22 April 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]
