about founder

Grażyna AuguścikGrazyna Auguscik
www.grazynaauguscik.com

Singer, composer, arranger, and producer Grazyna Auguscik has won the praise and admiration of music critics, jazz enthusiasts, and even non-jazz audiences with a singular voice that speaks a universal language.

She is one of the most intriguing contemporary vocalists in today’s World jazz scene. Her elusive style challenges traditional definitions of jazz and shows a vocalist and musician without boundaries. Her unorthodox approach to rewriting classic works is at once a tribute to its authors as well as an adventure into uncharted territory. Her originals give a fresh taste of uncanny flavor.

Her professional music career began in Europe. She completed her studies in 1992 at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. She has since become a prolific collaborator sharing the stage with such jazz notables as Jim Hall, Michael and Randy Brecker, Toots Thielemans, Urszula Dudziak, John Medeski, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Michal Urbaniak, Terry Callier, and many others.

Since 1994, Grazyna has made Chicago her home where she performs at the legendary Green Mill, the Chicago Cultural Center, and Millennium Park, to name just a few. Amidst her active schedule of Worldwide performances, Grazyna has managed to record, produce and distribute 18 albums, 10 under her record label, GMA Records, and appear on as many projects as a guest.

In 2011 she received the Outstanding Pole Aboard award from the Teraz Polska foundation and the annual award of the Polish Ministry of Culture.
