Pawel Ignatowicz — artist
Guitarist, composer and music producer Paweł Ignatowicz was born on December 20th, 1980 in Żywiec, Poland. Since his earliest years, he was surrounded by a wide variety of musical influences. His father being a multi-instrumentalist, he grew up in a musical family that ranged in style from folk music of the Highlanders of the Beskid Żywiecki region to New Orleans Dixieland Jazz. At the age of 8, Ignatowicz enrolled in the Polish National Music School to study Clarinet. The Saxophone soon followed on his list of instruments to master, as he continued in his search for the instrument that would best serve his need for musical expression. Then, at the age of 10 he found the guitar, which became the sole focus of his pursuit for musical mastery. After finishing high school, he continued his education at the University of Silesia, where he majored in jazz guitar with Prof. Karol Ferfecki. Ignatowicz graduated with a Masters in Music in 2005 and moved to New York where he currently resides.
