Izabela Trojanowska

Izabela Ludwika Trojanowska (née Schütz; born 22 April 1955) is a Polish rock singer and actress performing in theatre, TV series and films.

She is best known for her 1980 hits "Tyle samo prawd ile kłamstw" and "Wszystko czego dziś chcę", and her role in the popular Polish soap opera Klan.

[1] In May 1971, she performed at a religious music contest Sacrosong in Chorzów where she won an award, presented to her by Karol Wojtyła – future Pope John Paul II.

With her distinctive femme fatale image and new wave sound, she immediately became a teenage idol and one of the most popular acts of the early 1980s in Poland.

Their performance caused controversies for the singer donning a red tie on stage, which was commonly worn by members of the Polish Socialist Youth Union, and the organisation accused her of profaning their uniform.

Later that year, she collaborated with Tadeusz Nalepa on the album Pożegnalny cyrk, whose politically charged lyrics strongly criticized martial law in Poland and the country's communist government.

In 1999, label Pomaton EMI released a greatest hits compilation, Złota kolekcja – Wszystko czego dziś chcę.

In 2008, she played a role in Polish romantic comedy Fenomen, released two years later, and in 2009, took part in a tour for the 35th anniversary of Budka Suflera.

She started collaborating with Polish band Mafia with whom she recorded her next album, Życia zawsze mało, released independently in October 2011.

In November 2016, Trojanowska released the album Na skos, composed by Jan Borysewicz, which musically referenced her early 80s new wave style.

In 2020, she received her "star" in the walk of fame in Opole and released an autobiography titled Trojanowska, on which she worked with journalist Leszek Gnoiński.
