Aretha began her adventure with music at the age of 7 by learning to play the violin at the First Level State Music School in Krakow. However, it was not the violin that stole her heart, but the saxophone, which became her true passion and love. Aretha honed her skills and talent at the Krakow School of Jazz and Popular Music under the supervision of outstanding teachers and artists. Over the course of several years of study, she gained the ability to improvise and knowledge of harmony, composition and arrangement. Aretha quickly found her place in the music scene, creating her own artistic projects, which resulted in participation in many festivals and music competitions as well as trips abroad, including concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, France, Hungary and Slovakia.
Aretha became known to a wide audience in the program "Must Be The Music - Only Music", where with her performance of the hit "Stand by me" she won audience applause, recognition of the jury and almost 7 million views on YouTube. She also appeared in the final episode of the X-Factor program, where she honored the performance of one of the participants by playing a solo on the saxophone to the song C'est la vie by Andrzej Zaucha. Aretha has collaborated with many artists, including: with music producer Gromee, with whom she played support before Mariah Carey's only concert in Poland so far. With Michał Wiśniewski and the group Ich Troje, she went on a two-month summer concert tour. Aretha played hundreds of concerts, creating an unforgettable atmosphere, delighting the audience with both an elegant, subtle sound and a dynamic, energetic show. Her spectacular and original concerts touch, delight and move everyone, regardless of age.
