At the time of his death, he had just completed his third solo studio album, which was released posthumously in 2013, and went gold in 2014. He was originally married to the singer of Maanam, Kora (4), but after that relationship ended he re-married. Born: 11th December 1946, in Stary Olsztyn, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.
