Anna Przybył

Anna Przybył is a singer, poet and composer, with a unique sensitivity. She was born in 1991 in Słubice. A graduate of Journalism and Social Communication at the WSUS in Poznań. She perfected her acting skills at the Academy of Performing Arts. She also learned singing, vocal chamber music and acting at the Private Vocal Art Studio “Vocalart” of the professor Jadwiga Gałęska-Tritt; later she developed the singing technique under the auspices of Ewa Nawrot, at the “Art of Voice Studio” in Poznań. There, while participating in numerous concerts, Open Mic and Grająca Szafa, among others, she had an opportunity to get used to the stage. Poetry and music have always been an inseparable part of Anna’s life, and the album Desire reflects her passion, as well as her thoughts on everyday life. Songs from this album were enthusiastically received during performances in the Kalisz Philharmonic and in the Palace on the Water in Warsaw’s Łazienki Park. The recordings were made in S4 Studio of the Polish Radio under the watchful eye of an outstanding producer, Leszek Kamiński.

“I love minimalism – I do not like complicated texts and definitions. I want my art to pull the deepest strings of one’s heart. In my opinion, the easiest way to do it is through simple gestures, words and music. My main goal is to reach the forgotten corners of the human soul, and my desire is to awaken the human sensibility. Since I have remembered, words and sounds were very important to me. I even think the word was first, and the sound helped me to express it even more precisely. What I have always expected from art were emotions, therefore now I want to give them back to people – and this is manifested in my album Desires. It began with a pleasure of playing music together with friends and searching for true feelings in music. But the day came when I knew I had a set of unique songs that needed to be released to the world. The main inspiration were people, both the loved ones and the participants of my concerts, who motivated me to act. The album Desires has been driven by very strong emotions interwoven with reflection on life. It allows to feel the world almost painfully, to get lost in one’s desires and longings for a moment.”

“Since I have remembered, words and sounds were very important to me. I think the word was first and music served me to express it more powerfully. I have always loved poetry: a skilful poet can use few words to express big, sensational and amusing moments. Poetry has led me through the most difficult moments in life, through unhappy relationships and my close relatives’ diseases, and often provided answers to questions that bothered me. From Halina Poświatowska I learned to love; she loved so beautifully… I think I absorbed her feelings, and I certainly felt that she was close to me. On the other hand, Twardowski, treated important matters with great delicacy. Between the lines, he showed simple ways out of difficult situations. I am incredibly happy to be able to present an album with works of the poets that have shaped me as I am today.”
