AREK KŁUSOWSKIA charismatic vocalist, composer and lyricist. To some, due to his voice, he is considered the "new Artur Rojek” (referring to the legendary former vocalist of Myslovitz, see below). After two hot singles in 2021 ("Antarktyda” and 'Idealny Syn”) came his second album – the successful "Lumpeks”. Kłusowski also writes songs for various Polish artists - Ewa Farna and Doda, for example.
OFELIA
Unlike the Shakespearean Ophelia, the Polish one is into more modern songs and vibes. A talented artist who composes her own songs and writes her own lyrics, Ofelia has so far released two albums – the highly acclaimed debut "Ofelia” as well as a live album. She is currently working on a new LP "Osiem” which will be produced by Kuba Karaś (half of the Karaś/Rogucki project, which is also taking part in the Letnie Brzmienia tour).
RALPH KAMINSKI

She burst onto the Polish music scene in 2021 with her mini-LP "jestem bryska” followed by a stunning 17 singles in the last year. She released her debut full LP this year. What added fire to her stunningly sudden and prolific appearance on the music scene was the fact that for many months after her debut she refused to reveal her face in her videos.
