Monika Brodka, known professionally as Brodka, is a distinct voice in modern Polish music, merging a multitude of genres that include pop, alternative, and electronic music. Brodka first entered the public eye in 2004 as the winner of the third season of "Idol," Poland's version of the popular TV series "Pop Idol." Born on February 7, 1987, in Zywiec, her career has been marked by a constant evolution of style and substance.

Brodka's early work was characterized by a pop-rock sensibility, but she has since transcended those roots, skillfully exploring and incorporating indie rock, synth-pop, and folk into her repertoire. Her progressive approach to music and her vivid image have earned her critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Albums like "Granda" (2010) and "Clashes" (2016) have showcased her growing artistry, with the latter winning the Fryderyk award for Album of the Year - Alternative Music. Her forays into English-language music have helped broaden her appeal beyond her native Poland. Brodka has also explored visual mediums, directing music videos and cultivating a powerful aesthetic that complements her sonic work. Notable recent releases include the haunting "Sadza" and the dynamic "BRUT," which highlight her prowess as a multifaceted and evolutionary artist.
