Music career

Early years and Shyja

At the age of eleven, Piotr started to compose music, playing the piano. He started singing at the end of college. Then he studied at music school where he met Joanna Klejnow. They started singing together, making a duet. They performed in pubs until they were noticed by Rafał 'Uhuru' Szyjer who took care of their career.

They were buzzed out by two judges, Agnieszka Chylińska and Małgorzata Foremniak. The former stated that Lisiecki was technically much better than Klejnow and asked him to perform alone. He sang another song by KT Tunstall, "The Hidden Heart" and "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. After getting three yeses, he got through to the live semi-finals.

Lisiecki performed on the third semi-final on 6 November 2010. He sang "Ain't No Sunshine". This performance gave him the first place in viewers' votes and a place in the finale.
