Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa, Jazz Juniors, Jazz Nad Oder). He has performed on stages all over the world with Polish and international stars of jazz and entertainment music in general. In 2015 he was awarded the Golden Laurel of Skills and Competence in the field of "Culture".

He has many various compositions on his albums and of other artists as well. He is also the composer of two major works: "Symphony of the Galaxies" and "Polish Jazz Symphony" for symphony orchestra, a big-band and soloists.
