MOUNTAIN BLUES ROCK | Highlander COUNTRY

---

Megitza was born in Zakopane, at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. She grew up with the southern Highlander dialect as her first language and the mountains as her first horizon. In 2001, at the age of 15, she moved to the United States on her own, where she played hundreds of concerts, crisscrossing America from Rhode Island to California, fulfilling her American dream. Chicago introduced her to blues, rock, and soul. Concerts in Colorado, Arizona, and Texas exposed her to American country music, not just the music, but the way of thinking that, as a native highlander, was already familiar to her. Highlanders are the ‘Polish cowboys’. In Europe, after returning from the States, Megitza performed on stages that define music of the world: the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Vienna Jazz Fest in Austria, and the Rudolstadt Festival in Germany. In Poland, she gained recognition thanks to two television shows that helped her reach a mass audience: the finale of "Must Be the Music" with judges Kora, Elżbieta Zapendowska, and Adam Sztaba, and the Golden Buzzer from Agnieszka Chylińska on Poland‘s got Talent. Eight studio albums. Numerous singles. And now, Megitza's sonic evolution, one that no one planned, turned out to be the only right one: from Highlander roots through world music to rock-soul-country-blues, exactly where even the Highlander dialect sounds natural.
