Ewelina Cassette actress

My first poem was Julian Tuwim's W aeroplanie [In an Aeroplane], read to me by my beloved grandma Ingrid. When I was 2 years old, I knew it by heart, and would deceive my parents' friends pretending that I could read. Everyone believed it :-) So I think I can safely say that these were my first successful ‘performances’. My first song was Mydełko Fa [Fa Soap] (oh, yes! ;-) ) – fortunately, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston quickly joined the ranks of my favourite artists – I grew up to their music, and learnt my first songs from them. Luckily, what I loved in my childhood became my profession and my everyday life.
