Peter Jeremy Fijalkowski (born 11 December 1968 in Surrey[1]) is an English vocalist, guitarist and songwriter formerly with the bands Adorable and Polak,[2] and currently plays with Terry Bickers of the House of Love in the duo Pete Fij / Terry Bickers. Polak also featured his brother, Krzyz Fijalkowski (born Christopher Martin Fijalkowski 1962 in Surrey),[3] formerly of The Bardots.

He has used variants of his name in the different projects he has worked on – using the Polish spelling of his birth name Peter, Piotr Fijalkowski in Adorable and the shortened Pete Fij for his work with Terry Bickers.

A film studies graduate at Warwick University,[4] Fijalkowski is the director of the 'On Location Film Festival' in Worthing, which shows films in site-specific locations relevant to the film.[5] He is also the director of Pete Fij / Terry Bickers' videos for "Out of Time",[6] "Downsizing"[7] and "Betty Ford".[8]

After a Kickstarter in late 2013[9] Fij and Terry Bickers released their debut album Broken Heart Surgery in July 2014.[10] Their second album, We Are Millionaires, was released in July 2017.
