Biography
editKukiz is the grandson of Marian Kukiz, leader of the State Police of the Second Polish Republic,[4][5] and the son of Marianne and Thaddeus (doctor and activist).[6] Since 1991 he has been married to Małgorzata. He has three daughters: Julia (born in 1991), Paula (born in 1994) and Hanna (born in 2000).[7]
A musician by profession, he received a general secondary education.[8] In Niemodlin, he attended primary school[9] and graduated from general secondary school in 1981.[8] A few years later, in 1984, in Niemodlin, Kukiz formed the band Piersi together with Rafal Eżyrski, Zbyszek Mozdzerski and Orin.[10] He studied administration at the University of Wrocław, and then law and political science at the University of Warsaw, but did not graduate from either of these universities.[11]
In the 1980s, he was the founder and vocalist of various rock bands such as CDN,[12] Hak and Aya RL.[13] From 1984 to 2013 he was the leader of Piersi, with which he released nine albums.[14]
From 1989 to 1993 Kukiz performed as the vocalist of the group Emigranci.[15] In 1995, Kukiz starred in the sensational film Girl's Guide by Juliusz Mahulski. In 1998, together with the Polish rapper and actor Bolek, Kukiz starred in the films Monday (1998) and Tuesday (2001) directed by Witold Adamek.[7] In the second half of the 1990s Kukiz appeared in an advertisement for Pepsi.
In 2001 he participated in the music project Yugoton, and in 2007 in its continuation — Yugopolis. In 2003 the first and only album of the duo Borysewicz & Kukiz was released, where Kukiz sang accompanied by guitarist Jan Borysewicz with the participation of session musicians.
In the 2005 presidential election in Poland, Kukiz participated in the honorary committee in support of Donald Tusk's candidacy.[16] In 2006-2007, he also supported Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz's local government campaign and Civic Platform parliamentary party.[17] In 2009, Kukiz became the editor-in-chief of the Nieobecni portal.[18]
In 2010, together with Maciej Maleńchuk, he recorded a CD with the repertoire of the "Kabaret Starszych Panów" — "Starsi panowie". In a duet with Polish rapper Pih, he sang the song "Młodość" on the album Bal matural (2014). The producers of the album were Robert Menchynsky and Jan Borysewicz.
