Born in 1988 in the small town of Rewa, Poland, Piotr discovered his deep-rooted passion for music amidst the streets of his humble countryside upbringing. With hardworking parents, Danuta and Krzysztof, often away on foreign travels for employment, Piotr and his brothers found solace in the world of music, thanks to their parents' appreciation for the art.
Piotr's musical journey began to take shape, introduced to legendary bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin by his father, Krzysztof, a former travelling musician and lighting technician in the '70s. However, life in a once-communist country proved challenging for individuals with creative aspirations, forcing Krzysztof to postpone his own artistic endeavours.
While Piotr always had a fondness for music, it was not until his mother enrolled him and his brother Krystian in classical guitar lessons at the age of 11 that he discovered his true passion for the instrument. Although Piotr initially desired to play the drums or sing, the rarity and expense of drums and the absence of nearby music schools led him to embrace the guitar when classically trained teacher Franciszek Musiatowicz brought his lessons to their local town.
Inspired by his newfound musical possibilities, Piotr, his older brother, and his schoolmates formed their first band. However, Piotr's burning desire to create original compositions soon outgrew their homegrown project. So, in 2005, he boldly decided to move to the United Kingdom in search of further music education and to support his family's musical ambitions.
Working various jobs to provide for his family, Piotr and his brothers, Albert and Krystian, tirelessly searched for other musicians and honed their sound. Their fortunes turned in 2010 when they crossed paths with guitarist Richard Powley during a Music Technology course in Essex. This fateful encounter marked the missing piece of the puzzle for their band's lineup.
With their newfound unity, Piotr and his bandmates wasted no time, channelling their creative energy into writing their debut EP, "Fracture," in just under four months. They swiftly entered the studio at Springvale Studios, working with engineer Mark Harwood to bring their songs to life. Eager to share their music with the world, they entered the live music scene and began building their following. Since then, the band has released three studio albums, two of which were expertly recorded and produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano. Piotr continues to tour with the band, captivating audiences across the globe with their impressive performances. While composing music for various media, some of his latest work includes a score for the short silent film 'Match' and self-released orchestral compositions such as Shadows & Silences.
