Wiktor Waligóra: – I’ll sing “Historical past of 1 acquaintance” by Czerwone Gitary, and in a duet with Julka Pietrucha an attractive traditional, specifically “Let solely the apple bushes bloom”. I even have an sudden medley of three totally different songs with 2 different vocalists, however I will not reveal that but.
I received the preparations from Janek Stokłosa and I actually like what he wrote. The repertoire of the 60s and 70s is quite unfamiliar to me, so it is good to get to know these numbers, as a result of I have not listened to a few of them. And Janek’s preparations are actually very fascinating.
That is your second live performance on Polsat, since you additionally performed at Polsat Hit Competition. How was it to carry out on the stage of the well-known Forest Opera?
– We truly performed the Wodecki Twist live performance there and I actually appreciated it. The Forest Opera has one thing magical about it and you are feeling totally different there than on some other stage. We additionally had a very cool viewers. I bear in mind being a bit intimidated by all of the cameras, all of the expertise. It was the primary time I had something like that, however I do not forget that live performance very well and it was nice to sing there.
Is the Uniejów competition the start of a summer time of concert events for you?
– I am beginning it at Męskie Granie in Żywiec, the place I will play my first live performance with my band (the live performance was held earlier than Męskie Granie began – editor’s word), which I am very glad about, as a result of I have been ready for a very long time to play my very own materials. In the summertime we’ll play a bit solo, a bit with my colleagues from Projekt WOW and the Wodecki Twist crew. And the cease in Uniejów will certainly be one of many extra fascinating moments of those holidays.
You talked about Męskie Granie. It’s the performances there which can be talked about as those that helped you break via. How did it occur that Kamil Pater invited you to sing Wodecki?
– It was fairly shocking and for a very long time I used to be curious myself the way it occurred that I – a complete novice debutant – discovered myself amongst such a wonderful group of musicians. It turned out that somebody confirmed Kamil my recordings from YouTube and he appreciated them a lot that he invited me to the undertaking and thus opened all of the doorways for me to additional my profession and to proceed working on this trade.

Because you point out the YouTube channel, was that the turning level in operating it? You’ve movies on it, together with these with Natalia Przybysz, which have gone viral. Do you assume any of the movies had been significantly vital in launching your profession?
– The breakthrough for this channel is the truth that I do not actually run it anymore (laughter). So you may name it a breakthrough. So many fascinating issues occurred there that I feel the strictly on-line stage is behind me. Kamil’s invitation allowed me to take a step ahead. This journey with YouTube was essential to me. I appreciated doing it, nevertheless it’s time for extra issues.
Do you assume that the position of social media in music promotion will enhance and proceed to switch conventional media?
– That is how it’s now. It is already taking place, sadly. It is apparent that it is a advanced challenge. Social media has develop into an enormous a part of life for folks my age at this level. It is comprehensible that it is the obvious technique to present your music. That is why I am actively concerned in it, amongst others.
However I’ve a tough time with social media. I’ve by no means actually delved into it. I attempt to be a little bit of an idealist and it appears to me that good music ought to communicate for itself. However we’re actually flooded with a lot content material from each facet, we’re bombarded with new stuff and individuals who wish to brag about it, that plenty of music is beginning to get misplaced in it. It is tougher to interrupt via.
Your profession in social media, which we have been speaking about, developed very naturally. You probably did covers, ultimately somebody took an curiosity in them, you bought your likelihood and now you are getting an increasing number of consideration. Did you ever take into consideration taking a shortcut, like getting right into a expertise present?
– Typically, I am not a fan of such packages which can be proven on TV. As a result of I’m wondering how a lot of such reveals are actually about music. For me, it was at all times about exhibiting probably the most actual me, even in these covers, exhibiting that I can sing – though not that nicely on the time. And I used to be afraid of TV due to that, as a result of it did not appear honest to me, or one thing I might discover my place in. I at all times attempt to do issues by myself phrases, and there it wasn’t essentially potential.
And I am proud that I did it. I may be an instance that one thing may be achieved with out tv and that I may construct my model with out it, particularly contemplating what you talked about, the rising significance of social media.
Let’s make clear yet one more factor. What’s it like being a gifted soccer participant?
– It is a shaggy dog story. Since September, they have been asking me about it in each dialog. And I am always correcting it. It is some type of pretend. I am a hobbyist and yard footballer at finest. I used to be at all times one of many worst and there was no likelihood of me turning into knowledgeable. It is enjoyable for me like it’s for hundreds of different children.
Is the story about going to the US true?
– Sure, I have been to the States, however I performed soccer there extra as an extracurricular exercise. It is highly regarded there. Half of the college performed there, however that does not imply that each one of them is an athlete.
I will convey up the States. Have you ever ever considered making an attempt to do one thing together with your music profession there?
– I used to be within the US for a 12 months and that was the plan from the start, so I could not keep any longer. In fact, it will be nice to make a profession within the US, since you instantly promote your self to the entire world. However it will be extremely laborious to interrupt via there. Particularly since I must write in English, a language I do not use each day. It will be laborious, so I did not take into consideration making an attempt something there.

Your debut album is popping out on August twenty third. You’ve got already launched a number of singles, do you intend on releasing any extra earlier than the premiere? Do you’ve got a promotional plan to curiosity listeners in your album?
– I do not assume there will likely be any extra singles. However that might change, in fact. There’s additionally an EP from Projekt Wow popping out on the best way, and we hope that somebody will likely be fascinated about that too.
The concert events they are going to be enjoying throughout the holidays will certainly be a good way to succeed in the listener. We’re additionally planning a promotional marketing campaign strictly linked with enjoying this materials in new preparations, however I haven’t got the main points found out but. I actually would not need this premiere to go unnoticed, so I’ll do every thing I can to make as many individuals as potential discover out about this album.
What are you able to count on from her?
– That is my non-chronological diary of the final two years, and it was fairly a breakthrough interval for me, as a result of I took my first steps within the skilled world of creating music. And I lately completed writing my closing exams. I’ve plenty of ideas from that interval. I method sure issues emotionally.
There is a little bit of pop on the album, there are good ballads. I attempted to sneak in some rock sounds, so it is a combine and I feel everybody will in all probability discover one thing for themselves on this album.
I will additionally ask about PROJECT WOW. The place did the concept come from to work on numbers from the early twenty first century?
– We assumed that in Poland for a number of years now there was a style for refreshing previous songs, however we at all times cease on the 90s. We wish to cowl Maanam, we wish to cowl Girl Pank, however one way or the other sooner or later we draw an invisible line and do not contact later songs.
For us, these songs are the years of our childhood, after we realized our first songs. I actually have plenty of movies of Piotr Rubik’s songs, the place I clap alongside to them. So we determined that since a given style returns on common each 20 years, and nobody has taken up these songs but, we might get forward of the traits. With every of the songs, we tried to maneuver away from the originals as a lot as potential, so that every of them can be distinctive. We had been on the lookout for a brand new incarnation for them, and I feel it labored out nicely.
Have you ever acquired any suggestions from any of the artists you’ve got coated?
– Nobody wrote to us personally, however since they’re co-authors, there needed to be some type of acceptance from their facet for it to go additional. So it wasn’t unhealthy sufficient for somebody to forbid us from doing it. Nevertheless, lately we posted a movie through which we sang a tune by Ania Dąbrowska, and on social media we put the caption: “Do you see these three and what are you doing?” Ania Dąbrowska commented that she would be part of within the singing. That was very good.
How did listeners method the songs?
– It’s recognized that on this case there’s a threat that somebody might not like the shape. However the response was largely optimistic. And if somebody didn’t prefer it, it signifies that we achieved our objective, as a result of we now have departed as removed from the unique as we had supposed.
The live performance will likely be broadcast on Polsat TV and on the Interia Residence Web page from 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 7.
