About Kinga Głyk

Poland's Kinga Glyk is an award-winning bassist and composer whose music weaves together jazz, fusion, blues, and funk. She began her professional career at age 12 with Głyk P.I.K TRIO, led by her vibraphonist/drummer father Irek Głyk, and they toured Europe when she was on break from school. Given her young age, Kinga played with a physicality and lyricism influenced by Jaco Pastorius and Marcus Miller. Her independent debut, Rejestracja, appeared in 2015. The Polish music industry voted her Jazz Bassist of the Year and Discovery of the Year. Happy Birthday Live appeared in 2016. Glyk signed to Warner Music for 2017's Dream, leading a band that included saxophonist Tim Garland, pianist/keyboardist Nitai Hershkovits, and drummer Gregory Hutchinson. For 2019's Feelings, she showcased a rhythm trio buoyed by guest keyboardists. 2024's internationally celebrated Real Life was co-produced with Snarky Puppy's Michael League.
