In June 2014, he completed the process of habilitation at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, gaining the rank of a "habilitated doctor,"- equivalent to the American title of "assistant-professor." The title of his work was "Polska piosenka popularna interpretowana w języku jazzowym. Analiza utworów z płyty ŚPIEWNIK." ("Polish pop music translated into the language of jazz. An analysis of the works from "Śpiewnik.") His career as a jazz vocalist started in 1994, when he won the 2nd place honor at the International Meeting of Jazz Vocalists in Zamość. Next year, in 1995 – he was the first prizewinner of the publicity prize at the Fall Pomeranian Jazz- "Key to Career’s Door", which is one of the most important honors for a young artist to achieve.

In addition to appearances on various TV shows and in radio programs such as Kabaret Olgi Lipińskiej (Olga Lipińska Cabaret), Irena Kwiatkowska and Her Guests and others, he has also served as acting teacher in TV programs like Star Academy or Jak Oni Śpiewają.
