Okay, letโs get into the Ten questions for KRISS!

I was born in Poland (Gdynia) and since 2009 I live in Sweden. My main hobby is off course producing music.

I always felt music in my heart. I picked up drums as my first instrument when I was maybe 9 years old (that was in a form of plastic boxes, some equipment from my mothers kitchen etc) and then I got my hands on a guitar.
It has been like that as long as I can remember now.
I have been playing with lots of bands in my home town as well as after moving to Sweden.
I always wanted to produce something by myself as well, so this new chapter has started back in July 2020 when the band members couldn't find time for regular rehearsals anymore.
๐ฏ. ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐?
If you ask me today I would say at this moment it's Plini, Animals as Leaders and Bruno Mars or even James Brown. Sounds a bit strange combination, right ? ;)
Yes, I love music in general. I do listen to lots of different styles and genres.
Nevertheless you can hear in my music other influences such as Hard metal or Jazz. whatever strikes my heart
๐ฐ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ป ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ?
I remember my first riff when I was at primary school (Maybe 10 years old in 1990).
From that moment I jut knew I need to learn some cover songs just for fun and practicing but primarily I want to record my own songs.
๐ฑ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐?
First of all I want to have fun and express myself.
I want to share my music with positive energy for everyone. I would be more than happy if anyone get smile on their face while listening to my productions.
๐ฒ. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ?
It would be Gdynia. My home town. In the middle of summer and on the beach (like I did back in the days with one of the bands I've been playing with).
๐ณ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด?
"Untouchable" by Anathema. This song sits deep in my heart. Brings back many good memories and emotions.
๐ด. ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐?
There were many moments, as an artist, student, father or husband but the most embarrassing? ...ahhh... believe me, I simply don't remember this one ;)
๐ต. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐?
My proudest accomplishment is that despite many "ups and downs", I am still doing my thing. I can't even imagine life without music.

I would love to record one song with Devin Townsend. He is a fantastic artist and a funny guy. I am sure that if I would have a chance to cooperate with him, It would go very well :)
