Beginnings
My story begins at the age of 16, when my father started teaching me some simple chords and tunes on his worn-out guitar. The learning process was hard and painful (the strings height over the 12th fret was about 2cm and the neck of the guitar didn't seem to be straight). After buing my first guitar (for 20zl), I started my 'holly mission' to get to know all about the instrument itself. I installed the humbucker into my acoustic guitar, I plugged the home-made fuzz and combined with the Jowita radio amplifier. The effect is hard to describe! but I must admit it gave me the foretaste of the electric guitar sound. Soon, I formed my first band where I gained further experience. Also, I started my fascination with groups like: METALLICA, DEEP PURPLE, DREAM THEATER, which inspired me and made a great impression on me. I also discovered the radio programme 'Music way' (Radio Kraków), where I found everything I needed as the beginner. Music has become my passion and playing the guitarhas become my way to express myself. I started the intensive practice so that to learn what I wanted to learn but still I wanted to push further...
Inspirations
I am fascinated with Steve Morse, John Petrucci, Yngwie Malmsteen, Al di Meola, James Hetfield, Zakk Wylde. Their ideas, technique and the way they express themselves cannot be mixed up with anyone else. It is the direction I have started to head for, that is individualism and originality. My non-stop inspirations are: DREAM THEATER, SYMPHONY X, METALLICA, PINK FLOYD, DEEP PURPLE, IRON MAIDEN, TOOL, and the latest inspirations are NIGHTWISH and SLIPKNOT.

Instrument: percussion
Beginnings
My story bagan when I was 11. The beginnings were quite odd as my late primary school music teacher paid attention to my rythmical hitting the desk...and despite my objections concerning the lack of time and money for drums lessons, he signed me in. Today, when playing this instrument has become my passion, I am very grateful to my teacher. After 3 years of learning I got my first, desired drum set which was working for me many many years. I was able to overcome this problem 3 years earlier when I 'played' my pillows using the small pillow in a plastic bag as hi-hat (so that the characteristic sound would appear) and the wasbasin as bass drum. Now, I recall with pleasure all that time, the first band and various concerts. I met many people, visited many places and made lots of memories then. I came to Tarnow to study French language. I couldn't find the time to play drums for a longer time. It made me feel both nervous and more fervent to play. I wrote the notice and I left it on the college board. The notice was found by Gerard and we started to play together. It was the time to discover his music abilities. Soon, we found the time for rehearsals with Gerard and Bartek. We started the process of getting know one another, playing our music and choosing the direction we wanted to head for. Today, we can say our 3 roads have turned into one, which result is the music you can hear.
Inspirations
My first inspiration was Lars Ulrich, then Nicko McBrain and now I am opened to various drummers. I was inspired by Metallica and Iron Maiden for a long time. Now, I like listening to Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater and Liquid Tension) as well as other drummers: Tom Brechtlein, Jeff Campitelli, Ian Paice and some Polish ones: Michał Dąbrówka, Tomasz Łosowski, Cezary Konrad. They have different music styles and broadening my mind is what I am opened to today. I really strive to join them as a musician and that is why I am creating my own style, whose opinion is left to you.

Instrument: bass guitar
Beginnings
My bass guitar adventure began at the age of 15 under the influence of my older friends for whom music has been a great deal of their everyday life. My starting point was the left-handed, hand-made bass guitar. Why was it left-handed? Frankly, I have no idea! but I was playing this instrument for over a year. Soon, playing for fun turned into passion. First, guitar lesons at the famous bass guitar player, then Tarnów Rock Musicians School. I was there to gain the abilities to start my career in various bands. All experiences from that time have been always nice to me. I succedeed in playing small concerts as well as performing at the local rock band reviews. That is how I gained the necessary acquaintance and opportunities to inspire myself. This is why I am here today and I must say: it is a proper place.
