Jakub Skorupa is a Polish vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter who began his artistic journey in 2021. Skorupa's music is characterized by a melancholic blend of rap narration and alternative sounds. He incorporates elements of hip-hop, psychedelic rock, spoken word poetry, and downtempo beats into his compositions.

Jakub Skorupa is known for his authentic storytelling and deeply personal lyrics. He made a life-changing decision by quitting his well-established corporate job in London to return to his roots in Silesia and pursue a career in music. This bold move, which he called “putting everything on one card,” has resonated with fans and allowed him to connect with listeners on a deep emotional level.

His musical journey officially began in January 2021 with the release of Towary Zastępcze (Commodity Trains), which marked his entry into the Polish music world. Since then, his presence on the scene has continued to grow, and his songs have attracted a wide audience.

When Skorupa first began performing with his band, he was filled with uncertainty and fear. He admitted that before his debut concert in Katowice, neither he nor his band members knew what to expect. It was his first time leading a group while not only playing guitar but also singing. Over time, however, he grew more confident and learned how to balance both responsibilities.

One of the most rewarding aspects for Skorupa has been the audience’s reaction to his music. He finds great satisfaction in hearing that his lyrics resonate with listeners, that people find themselves in his stories and experiences. For him, this connection with the audience is the most important part of performing live. Whether young or old, his fans often approach him after concerts to share how they relate to his music. This, Skorupa says, is “amazing,” as it demonstrates that, despite his fears, he is able to communicate and create a shared experience through his songs.

Although Skorupa’s music has been labeled the “soundtrack for millennials,” he doesn’t believe this description fully captures his audience. While millennials are certainly part of his fan base, his music speaks to a broader range of people. At his concerts, Skorupa sees a diverse group of listeners—people in their 20s, as well as those in their 50s and 60s. He believes that his appeal is not bound by age but by a shared sensitivity and perspective on life.
