Rock and roll wildness and spontaneity accompany their music all the time.

Paweł Krawiec is a jazz guitarist involved in music from a young age, starting with the violin at the age of 6 and the electric guitar at 14. In December 2023 he released, with his quartet, his debut album "Ofensywa". The material was very positively received, quickly receiving very favourable reviews, among others from Marek Romański for Jazz Forum, Łukasz Dębowski for the portal Polska Płyta Polska Muzyka, Adam Baruch and Mateusz Chorążewicz for Polish Jazz, in the popular column, Focus on Debut.
The artist is an outstanding instrumentalist with a unique style of his own. He draws inspiration from traditional, modern and free jazz alike. Early Jimi Hendrix inspiration also shows, bringing in a wild spirit. Paweł's expressive compositions and playing style are charismatic and captivate the listener from the first notes.
As his current biggest inspirations in jazz guitar, Paweł Krawiec mentions Julian Lage, John Scofield, Cecile Alexandre, and Bill Frisell. These are musicians who cannot be pigeonholed in any way and play in a completely individual and unique style. Paweł Krawiec is guided by the same idea of originality in the spirit he follows.
He is the winner of the Grand Prix in Lubaczów, a finalist at the International Jazz Juniors competition, and a distinguished finalist at the International Śmietana Competition for guitarists. His Quartet won the Grand Prix at Jazz Water Meeting in Bydgoszcz.
The guitarist is ranked highly in the Jazz Forum's Jazz Top 2023 survey in various categories.
