Biography

My name is Piotr. I am a professional drummer, based in West Sussex UK. My passion for music began at a very young age. Whenever I heard music, live or on records, drums were always the instruments that stuck out to me. I would spend most of my time banging on everything in my house. When I got my first drum set I played and practiced as much as I could. As soon as I got home from school, I didn’t even do my homework. I just go on the drums and played until I can.

I graduated Krakow School of Jazz and Contemporary Music where I received formal training in harmony, theory, arranging, and ear training. The classes I took really helped me develop my actual drumming skills. I also graduated The State Higher School of Vocational Education and finish with a musician teacher title.

Regulary I get involved in jazz workshops such as The International Summer Jazz Academy.
