They call her Magia (“magic”). The biographies of magical people oftentimes resemble those of ordinary people, but they do so only on the surface. Her voice and musical imagination, first inspired and nurtured by her mom in childhood, were being developed since she was a little girl under the auspices of the music school Fraza in Wrocław. The bases of her musical education Magdalena was acquiring in the grand-piano class. The search for a grander, more ambitious music, directed her steps to vocal studies on the jazz profile in Wrocławska Szkoła Jazzu i Muzyki Rozrywkowej (the Wrocław School of Jazz and Entertainment Music). But it was still not enough. A singing heart keeps a man on the move, running about from door to door, from stage to stage, from workshops to workshops. The resulting experience ranges from joint performances with Justyna Steczkowska and Grażyna Łobaszewska, to master courses in voice emission under the supervision of Marzena Wojak. Up until the heart chooses to go its own magical way. She took part in such projects as Horn, Music in Progress and Sinusoidal. She composed, arranged and performed music inspired by the poetry of Christin Belwit – a Vratislavian poet. She is also the author and performer of the music in The Carcass for Wrocław Arka Dance Theatre. In the spring 2006, with magnolias blooming in Cieszyn and winter-frozen branches putting out buds in Warsaw, the longed-for band Me Myself and I was coming to life in Wrocław, owing to Magia’s initiative. It was just the beginning of important events which were to come and shape the figure of Magdalenia Pasierska as one of the most original vocalists of the Polish music stage. She’s so far performed in over two hundred concerts during biggest music festivals in Poland and Europe. Experienced with hard work over composition and her own voice, giving concerts and spending long hours on listening to the masters of music, she came to lead her own radio broadcast Mag Mus in Radio Ram. She is also the founder and teacher of the Vocal School in Agora Cultural Centre in Wrocław. Her has spent long hours at singing workshops, for example, during the annual cyclic SLOT Art Festival. In 2009, she applied for the vocal workshops of Meredith Monk in Grotowski’s Instuitute, and got accepted as one of a few. On her artistic account, there is the cooperation with Bipolar Bears band and with Mr. Transporter, which resulted in joint tracks on the debut albums of the both above-named artists. In 2009, she performed together with Barbra Walker from Uri Caine Badrock Trio. Along with Me Myself and I, she appeared in “Got Talent!”, where her exceptional professionalism as an artist won her the audience and the jury in particular. That’s the way it is with a heart for which there is no compromise in the most beautiful. Above all that, she acts as a music consultant for vocal bands and as a member of jury in various music contests. She also gives individual classes in singing. On March 3, 2011, together with the band she released the album TAKADUM! Magdalena “Magia” Pasierska. With culture studies as her education. And Music as her way of living. |
