[1] After taking singing lessons, in 1989, aged 16, she gave her first public appearance on a Polish television talent show where she won with Sam Brown's hit song "Stop!".

In 1990 she performed on the Opole Polish Song Festival in a contest for debuting singers with an honourable mention.

In New York she was also offered a job by the Elite model agency, but she rejected it preferring to continue her career as a singer.

Górniak with her powerful voice and original beauty quickly became an idol of young generation in Poland.

However, she continued recording for the Polish market, and had three more hits in Poland: Kolorowy wiatr ("Colourful Wind") – Polish version of "Colors of the Wind" from the Disney movie Pocahontas, a club hit Love Is on the Line (which was written by Kylie Minogue) and "To Atlanta!"

Songs were written by writers of many legendary pop classics like: Billy Steinberg ("Like A Virgin" for Madonna), Simon Climie ("I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" for Aretha Franklin and George Michael), George Merrill and Shannon Rubican ("I Wanna Dance With Somebody" for Whitney Houston), Siedah Garrett ("Man in the Mirror" for Michael Jackson) or Rick Nowels ("Falling into You" for Celine Dion).

However, the mediocre success of the singles When You Come Back to Me (it was popular especially in Scandinavia and Portugal) and One & One (minor hit in France and Germany and the first hit of Polish act charted in history of the Music & Media's European Radio Top 50 airplay chart) let the album's global impact with sales of 500,000 copies internationally, including 150,000 copies in Poland.

[3] Two songs from that album were successfully covered by other artists: One & One by Robert Miles in 1996 (before Górniak's original version was released as a single) – it went to No.

During the promotion of her international album, Górniak gave concert in Poland with legendary tenor José Carreras and recorded with him a new hit Hope For Us in 1997.

It was written and produced mainly by the team Absolute, which earlier worked for Tina Turner and The Spice Girls on their latest albums.

New songs also were written by Steve Kipner ("Genie in a Bottle" for Christina Aguilera) and John Reid ("When The Heartache Is Over" for Tina Turner).

Górniak was also asked to sing the Polish national anthem at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Busan, South Korea, which she did.

Its mediocre success only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland made Invisible a commercial flop with over ten times worse international sales than her previous studio album.

The Polish version called Perła went gold in her native country in a time of phonographic crisis, selling 40,000 units.

In that time she had another hit in Poland, Nie było ("Never Been"), recorded with Polish metal band Sweet Noise.

To promote another club single Sexuality in 2006, Górniak appeared on the cover of Polish edition of Playboy magazine for the third time.

She chose Sony BMG and the first results of this new direction were the songs Cygańskie serce ("Gypsy Heart") and Loving You.

Next hits were singles Nie zapomnij ("Don't Forget") and the first dance tune since Impossible, Consequences (the latter also with the video co-directed by her).

In November 2018, she performed at a special concert "Sto lat" held at the Royal Albert Hall in London to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Poland regaining independence.
