Basia Trzetrzelewska is a Polish-born, UK-based singer whose blend of jazz harmony, Brazilian rhythm and pop melody helped define the sophisticated pop boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s. First gaining prominence as a member of Matt Bianco, she went on to enjoy major international success as a solo artist, with albums including Time and Tide, London Warsaw New York and The Sweetest Illusion achieving multi-platinum status and earning her a devoted global audience. Working closely with long-time collaborator and musical director Danny White, Basia has built a distinctive catalogue that bridges adult contemporary pop, Latin and Brazilian influences, and refined jazz sensibility. Her work has charted widely in the UK, Europe and the United States, where she became one of the first Polish-born artists to break into the mainstream pop market. In 2018, she returned with Butterflies, her first studio album in nine years, reaffirming her reputation for elegant, rhythmically nuanced songwriting and meticulous studio craft. Her contributions to music and culture have been recognised with numerous honours in Poland, including the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta and the Gloria Artis Medal for Cultural Merit. Now regarded as a quietly influential figure in modern pop and jazz crossover, Basia continues to tour and record, drawing audiences across generations with a catalogue that remains both timeless and unmistakably her own.
