1. How did you get into modeling?
Modeling? In my case, it’s more of an extension of storytelling than classic posing. It all started with my blog – I was writing, taking photos, sharing everyday life from a slightly different perspective. And I think that authenticity is what attracted the first opportunities. People weren’t looking for perfect billboard faces – they wanted real stories wrapped in emotion.
Then things just started happening naturally: collaborations, campaigns, photos where it wasn’t about ‚posing‘ but about ‚being yourself‘. So if modeling means telling a story with your body and your gaze – then yes, I’ve been doing that for a while. But always as an ordinary guy.
2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?
If I’m not in front of the camera, I’m probably writing. I’m an author and storyteller at heart – I’ve published several novels, including Cudze Życie and Most IKARA. I also run a lifestyle blog where I share thoughts on everyday life, culture, and personal growth.
Sometimes you’ll find me traveling – not just for the sake of destinations, but to understand the stories behind places, especially places like Lanzarote, which I fell in love with recently. And when I’m not doing any of that, I’m probably sipping coffee somewhere quiet, observing people, and collecting ideas for the next story. For me, creativity doesn’t clock out.
3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?
Quitting everything that felt ‘safe’ to write my first novel was probably one of the most difficult and spontaneous things I’ve done. I didn’t have a publisher waiting, no guarantee that anyone would read it – just a stubborn belief that the story was worth telling.
But maybe the real turning point came earlier. I moved out of my family home at just 18, with no support system, no safety net – just a suitcase, some big dreams, and a quiet kind of courage. Starting from scratch in a new city taught me resilience, self-discipline, and how to build something out of ab
Also… once I booked a flight to a place I couldn’t even pronounce, just because I saw a photo of a volcanic beach at 1 AM and thought, ‘Yep, I need to stand there.’ It turned out to be Lanzarote – and I stayed way longer than planned. I guess I have a soft spot for strange impulses that turn into life-changing chapters.
4. What’s your life motto?
Stop thinking about what you could be doing — just start doing it.
5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!
My personal style? Clean, understated, with a touch of comfort and a nod to timeless elegance. I don’t chase every trend — I wear pieces that feel like me. A favorite combo? Well-fitted jeans + oversized top (sometimes even wide cargo pants like from the early 2000s) + quality shoes — often a smart-casual look with a hint of streetwise edge. It’s about being ordinary, but doing it well.
When it comes to fragrance, I love woody, slightly smoky bases — like Terre d’Hermès or Molecule 01 — but I also enjoy sweeter accents. Think hints of vanilla, dry white musk, or even light amber. Those soft, comforting notes balance the stronger woods and make the scent feel approachable and personal.“
6. What genre of music best describes you?
I’d say the music that best describes me is calm, a little nostalgic, and rich in emotion. I’m drawn to songs with depth — lyrics that actually say something and melodies that stay with you long after the music stops. Music, for me, is not just background noise. It’s a mirror for how I feel, a safe space when words fail, and sometimes even a reminder that I’m not alone in what I’m thinking.
Sure, from time to time I enjoy something more energetic, but I usually go back to older tracks, the classics — songs that have stood the test of time.
And although I’ve been passionate about Eurovision for years, it’s less about the music itself and more about the phenomenon — the culture, the storytelling, the theatricality. It’s like watching Europe dream out loud once a year.
7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?
My roots are in a small Polish town, but to be honest — I don’t really miss it. I left when I was 18, and although that place shaped me, it also held a lot of difficult memories. I experienced more judgment than support, more walls than open doors.
It was only when I moved to Warsaw — the capital, full of contrasts and chances — that I truly found my place. I love big cities, metropolises where you can disappear in the crowd or stand out on your own terms. Places where no one tells you who you should be.
Warsaw gave me space to grow, to heal, to dream louder. It’s not just where I live — it’s where I finally felt free.
8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!
Honestly, I’m more fascinated by real conversations and authentic connections than by celebrity crushes. But if I had to pick someone…
probably some hot guy like Rocco Steele, Sir Peter, RhyheimShabazz, Caio Veyron or Roslan Angelo
9. Do you have any special Talents?
One special talent I’m really proud of is pole dance. It’s a demanding art that combines strength, flexibility, and creativity. Pole dance taught me discipline, body awareness, and how to express emotions through movement.
It’s not just a workout — it’s a form of storytelling with the body. Practicing pole dance has pushed me beyond physical limits and helped me build confidence in a unique way. It’s definitely one of those talents that shapes who I am
10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?
Right now, what really catches my attention online is the way people are reshaping authenticity — not just polished perfection, but real, raw stories shared without filters. I’m fascinated by creators who dare to show their vulnerabilities, everyday struggles, and the quiet moments we usually scroll past.
There’s something powerful about this digital honesty — it feels like a rebellion against the noise and fake glamour that often floods social media. For me, the most interesting thing online is witnessing how storytelling evolves into a genuine human connection, even through screens.
