Daria ze Śląska was once on track to become a professional volleyball player, but after 11 years of training and a decline in performance, she gave it up and became a historian instead. She dislikes big cities and crowds. She says that if she weren’t singing, she’d be writing ad copy or science fiction novels. She’s trusting, suffers from indecisiveness, and feels safest in sadness.
She released her debut album in 2022. Tu była earned her two Fryderyk Awards (for Indie Pop Album of the Year and Debut of the Year). The success of the debut led to an intense period of touring and new material. She followed it up with the album Na Południu bez zmian — just as emotional, and at times more hip-hop in form — a continuation of her debut.
The album’s strong reception brought her to major festivals such as Open’er, Tauron Nowa Muzyka, and Męskie Granie, followed by a fall tour with over 20 performances across Poland. She ended 2024 with nominations for the prestigious Paszporty Polityki and Onet’s Olśnienia, and began the next year by receiving another Fryderyk Award, this time for Pop Alternative Album of the Year.
