AGATA KARCZEWSKA (Kar-chef-ska) / she/her, is a singer-songwriter from Warsaw, Poland, that blends American folk and country influences, creating a style that feels raw, warm, and deeply personal.
Self-taught and inspired by artists like Elliott Smith and Bob Dylan, she writes songs that tell authentic stories, blending her strong, distinctive voice with the warm strum of an acoustic guitar.
Her first full length LP, I’m Not Good at Having Fun, came out in 2019 and opened doors to major festivals in Europe. In 2020, Agata was nominated for a Fryderyk award, Poland’s version of the Grammy, and won the Mateusz award from prominent radio station, Trójka for promising young artists.
In January 2020, she won the "Best Song of the Month" contest by Songwriter Universe for her song FOOL. In 2022, she teamed up with English songwriter John Porter to create the song "NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE," and their partnership grew into the album ON THE WRONG PLANET, released in 2023. The album won them a Fryderyk award in 2024.
Agata has a new EP coming out this December. Two of the songs, Rodeo and Dark Horse, are already out and the latest GO AHEAD was released earlier this month. Follow the artist on Insta at @agatakarczewskaofficial
