Early Life and Education

Beata Elżbieta Kozidrak was born on 4 May 1960 in Lublin, Poland, to Alicja and Marian Kozidrak. She grew up with her younger brother Jarosław in a working-class family where music was always present—her father played accordion and her mother loved singing.

From childhood Beata showed exceptional vocal talent. She attended primary music school in Lublin, studying piano, and later graduated from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska High School.

She briefly studied pedagogy at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University but left to fully dedicate herself to music. She is of Polish ethnicity while her religious background is unknown.

Career

Beata Kozidrak co-founded the band Bajm in 1978 with guitarist Andrzej Pietras (her future husband) and quickly became its charismatic leader. Their debut album in 1983 launched a string of classics that dominated Polish radio for decades.

Bajm released over a dozen studio albums, with milestones like Biała armia (1990), Płomień z nieba (1993), and Blondynka (2012) achieving multi-platinum status. Kozidrak wrote most of the lyrics herself, earning a reputation for sensual yet powerful poetry that resonated deeply with listeners.

In parallel, she launched a solo career with the 1998 album Beata, followed by hits such as Teraz płynę (2005) and B3 (2016). Her solo work blended rock with pop and electronic elements, proving she could thrive beyond Bajm.

Throughout her career she has won virtually every major Polish music award, including multiple Fryderyk Awards and SuperJedynki, and performed at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole more than any other artist.

Beata Kozidrak continues to record and tour extensively with Bajm while maintaining an active solo path. Even after a highly publicized 2021 DUI incident and subsequent hiatus, she made a triumphant return in 2023–2024 with sold-out concerts and new material.

Her voice remains one of the strongest and most recognizable in Polish music history.
