In October/November he published his debut single – "Podobny".[9] 22 April 2016 was the date of the premiere of his first LP Revolving Door,[10][11] with lyrics by Karolina Kozak, Gaba Kulka i Radek Łukasiewicz.[1] In 2017 he was nominated to 2017 Fryderyki Awards in the categories of fonographic debut of the year and pop album of the year;[12] in April he won in the first of those two categories.[13]
