"In the beginning, was the voice, before there were instruments even the oldest ones - percussion! The voice has always been there, and when voices resound in a musical space, in a pure improvised creative act then extraordinary things happen! Such was the case when four outstanding vocalists Anna Gadt, Natalia Kordiak, Marta Grzywacz and Gosia Zagajewska met in the Warsaw space "Przeswit" to improvise a new unique sound world. Did they succeed? We think it succeeded more than great!!!!!!!!"-Fundacja Sluchaj

She has recorded 5 original albums. In 2018 she has been nominated for the prestigious Polish Fryderyk Award for the best artist.The Grand Prix at Jazz Struggle, the international competition for singing musicians and the acclaim of Billy Harper, the head of jury, determined a breakthrough in her artistic work.
