Biography

I was born in 1982 in Wrocław. I started playing the bass guitar at the age of fifteen. A year later I started taking tuition given by Andrzej Stagraczyński. Thanks to him I got to know not only various techniques of the bass guitar playing and musical styles, but also I began studying the complex stylings of such jazz/fusion bass players as: Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, John Patitucci, Jeff Berlin, or Marcus Miller, and rock/heavy bass players, above all: Billy Sheehan, Stuart Hamm, Dave Larue and Steve Harris.
