Biography
Renata Przemyk was born on 10th February 1966 in Bielsko-Biała, where she attended primary and secondary
school. She enjoyed her childhood together with her parents, grandmother and brothers. After finishing
school, Renata moved to Katowice and began to study Czech philology at University of Śląsk.
In 1994 she moved to Cracow, and at the end of 1999 she decided to lead quiet life in the country near
Cracow, away from the fuss of a big city, which enabled her to compose, make arrangements of her own
songs and bring up her daughter in a peaceful atmosphere.
Her career as a singer started when she was a teenager, by singing with local rock bands. However, the
real calling for music she developed during her studies when she was inspired by the music of Tom Waits,
Talking Heads and Frank Zappa. As a result of it, she started a band named "Ya Hozna" in 1989.
Although the fact, that the group lasted only for a year, they managed to release an album entitled "Ya Hozna",
the album that revealed unique and original musical style of Renata Przemyk. After her music began to catch
on, she started her solo career.
As an independent artist Renata has recorded and edited the following albums: "Mało zdolna szansonistka"
(1992), "Tylko kobieta" (1994), "Andergrant" (1996), "Hormon" (1999), "Blizna" (2001), "Balladyna"
(2002) - soundtrack from a play directed by Jan Machulski, "The best of" (2003) - a compilation of her
most interesting songs, "Unikat" (2006).
From the beginning of her artistic path, she has been accompanied by her dearest friend and manager -
Anna Saraniecka, who at the same time is the author of all lyrics. Mature and wise lyrics have the same
importance for Renata's songs as the music, and are integral part of creating the unusual nature of her
work.
Most of Renata's albums were awarded with a status of "golden album" for selling over 50.000 copies.
Moreover, they were nominated and awarded many times - mostly for artistic individuality.
From the beginning of her career, the singer has also won numerous awards in various festivals in which
she took part, including first prize in the festival in Cracow, "Karolinka" in Opole and "Bursztynowy Slowik"
in Sopot.
As an artist that connects rock sounds with poetry and theatrical performance she could both perform -
on the stage of a rock festival in Jarocin, and on prestigious festivals of stage song that took place
in Wrocław and Köln. She has given concerts in France (Normandy, Britany, Paris) and in the USA (New York)
but because of lyrics written in native language, she prefers to perform in front of the Polish publicity
which can fully appreciate the words and also sing the songs with her.
Although, she has got many interests such as: art, cinema, the 19th and 20th century literature, modern
theater and drawing her own graphics, the most important for her is always music. She has cooperated with
many artists but if it's for her art - she's always the only one who produces her ventures and decides
about their character.
It is hard to classify her music - neither rock nor alternative nor poetry can describe what's deep inside
it. She calls her music "an everlasting search for tones, sounds, emotions and climates not similar to
anything that had been made before". That's why each album is different from the previous one. Nevertheless,
there is always one motif in common - on every album we can hear the sound of accordion, an instrument the
artist likes, despite all trends and fashions.
An individual and unique style of Renata's music has its origin in post-punk tones. However, the artist
has been constantly using various instruments in her musical career. The electronic sounds were used for
the first time by Renata on an album entitled "Hormon" in 1999, which at the same time was the first
album composed by her. Since then she and the author of lyrics Anna Saraniecka have been the only "parents"
of Renata's successes.
What is more, in plebiscites of two most important Polish weeklies - Polityka and Wprost, Renata has been
chosen one of the most important artists of the last century.
