Marcin Patrzalek

At 23 years old, Marcin Patrzalek physical status not available right now. We will update Marcin Patrzalek's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Patrzałek started playing the guitar at age 10 when he picked up classical guitar under the guidance of local teacher Jerzy Pikor. After two years he started studying flamenco techniques, being taught by Spanish guitarist Carlos Pinana. Later, at age 13, Patrzalek started playing fingerstyle on an acoustic guitar. It quickly became his main instrument and after around a year of self-taught practice in 2015 he won the ninth edition of Polish talent-show Must Be The Music. Around that time he started creating electronic music on his computer and combining it with guitar playing, which later resulted in the creation of his debut record HUSH.

In 2016, at age 16, Patrzałek released his debut LP, HUSH. The album is composed of ten pieces: six original tracks (acoustic guitar with electronic and orchestral production elements), two arrangements and two electronic remixes. The album was released independently on October 7, 2016, with distribution in Poland by Polish label My Music. In the same year Patrzałek became a finalist in the International Fingerstyle Competition Guitar Masters and next year won first prize in the International Classical Guitar Joaquin Rodrigo Competition. In March 2018 it was announced that Patrzałek had become an official endorser of Ibanez guitars - he plays the AE900-NT model. Around this time he started gaining notoriety due to his solo guitar arrangement videos he posted on YouTube. His 2016 arrangement of "Toxicity" by System of a Down became his first video to amass tens of millions of views on YouTube and Facebook. Other endorsements such as Fishman and Elixir Strings were soon to follow.

In 2018 Marcin Patrzałek became the winner of a major talent show for the second time. He was victorious in the fifth edition of Tu Si Que Vales in Italy. During his audition Patrzałek played his viral Beethoven's 5th Symphony arrangement and received four positive votes from the judges as well as 100% "yes" votes from the live studio audience; the judges gave Patrzałek a "golden buzzer" pass to the final. There he performed original arrangements of "Asturias" combined with "Innuendo" by Queen. Patrzalek competed against three other contestants in the final and won with over 50 percent of votes from the television audience.

On November 12, 2018, Patrzałek released his first EP titled revAMP, a compilation record of his most popular arrangements. Earlier in the year an original single was released titled "Baba Yaga".

After gaining more international recognition between his videos and talent show performances Marcin toured multiple countries and continents in 2018 and 2019.

In 2019, he auditioned for season 14 of America's Got Talent. During the judge cuts round, he was one of seven acts that successfully advanced to the live shows round but eventually eliminated at semi-finals. His performances broadened his audience and led to him signing an exclusive contract with Sony Masterworks, a division of Sony Music. So far, two singles were released under the imprint: "Moonlight Sonata," and "Snow Monkey". Both tracks were produced by Marcin and include additional modern electronic elements. The former quickly became one of Patrzałek's most popular releases, while the latter includes heavy reggaeton influences uncharacteristic for his previous work and fingerstyle guitar in general. During the coronavirus pandemic he gathered millions of followers on social media platforms Instagram and TikTok due to his increased activity.

In March of 2022 Patrzałek was a special guest at a series of 7 concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London, as part of the Classical Spectacular show. Soon after, he released his first official collaboration on YouTube - a duet with Japanese guitarist Ichika Nito.

Marcin is said to be working on his major label debut album.
