This is where I write about my feelings,thoughts,which I consider...very personal...


For those, who would like to know more about me than just when and where I play, I have decided to write something very personal. I hope that this will inspire you to seek meaning in life, which I found in .............................?


I was born on 15th June 1971 in Myslowice, Poland

Music has always interested me and for me has become my desire, love and dream ? I don't have words to describe what a huge influence music had on my personality in those days. I write 'in those days' because my life is divided into three parts;

The first part

My childhood years ? full of carefree thoughts, games and adventures.

At that time I lived for a while with my grandmother in a small town. I remember how I listened to records of a local band, played by my aunt, or faithfully traipsed after musicians who played from house to house at weddings. For me the sound of that music was more precious than all the games of my playmates.

The second part

Education.

I don't have good memories of those years. I was so absorbed by music and so busy practicing on my intruments that I didn't have time for study. I strived towards perfection in my playing. My desire to prove to everyone that I was the best made me insensitive to everyone and everything around me. The goal which I wished to achieve was more important and was meant to give me all the happiness I dreamed of. If you read my biography on my website, you can see some of the successes I achieved. I was, and still am, able to play with many famous musicians, but did this bring me happiness?

I am often amazed at how artists live offstage. When they come into the spotlight to play or sing, they look happy and fulfilled but behind the scenes the situation is often different.I couldn't cope with the emptiness I felt at that time. A dependance on acohol lead to darker and darker depressions. On my disk 'Long Time' I wrote: 'Music was, is and always will be part of my life. It comes, inspires and sometimes makes me frustrated inside. Who are you music? You who play and are silent?

Killing the silence however I could, I walked but I didn't know where I was going. That road was crazy, I wanted to change its direction but I didn't know why.I often asked myself whether there was any hope of being truly happy.

The third part

My life with Jesus Christ.

This is the most beautiful part of my earthly pilgrimage!

God made me so that I can live for Him and for others.

He is the greatest artist in the universe and to Him belongs all the glory which I put so much effort into chasing after for myself. My Heavenly Father filled the gap in my heart but for years I had been trying to satify myself with an imitation of joy. Today He is my hope, inspiration, security and fulfillment. In Him I find the highest feeling of self-esteem. Life in Him and for Him and others is a completely different goal to which I want to work towards today.

I like what the apostle Paul write in his letter to the Philipians (ch 3; 7-8);

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Jesus Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I condider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
