Margaret

Małgorzata Jamroży (Polish pronunciation: [mawɡɔˈʐata jamˈrɔʐɨ]; born 30 June 1991), known professionally as Margaret, is a Polish singer and songwriter. Before her mainstream debut, she performed with underground bands, recorded soundtracks for television commercials and produced a fashion blog. Through her blogging, she was discovered by music manager Sławomir Berdowski and signed by her record label, Extensive Music. Margaret gained international recognition with her singles "Thank You Very Much" (2013) and "Cool Me Down" (2016). Margaret's 2013 debut single, "Thank You Very Much", was included on her first extended play (EP) All I Need. The song was a commercial success in Poland and charted in several other European countries. Her debut studio album Add the Blonde was released in 2014 and reached the top 10 in the Polish charts. Three tracks from the album—"Wasted", "Start a Fire" and "Heartbeat"—were released as singles. The album's 2016 re-release includes Margaret's first Polish top five single, "Cool Me Down", which also marked her first appearance on the Swedish charts where she later had further success. In 2015, she recorded a collaborative jazz album with Matt Dusk titled Just the Two of Us. Her third studio album, Monkey Business (2017), became her second top 10 album in Poland and spawned the singles "What You Do" and "Byle jak". She followed it with a series of non-album singles for the international market including "In My Cabana" (2018) and "Tempo" (2019), before releasing her first Polish-language album Gaja Hornby (2019). Margaret has received numerous accolades, including five Eska Music Awards, a Kids' Choice Award and three MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Polish Act—more than any other artist in this category. She was included on a 2014 list of the 100 most-valuable stars of Polish show business compiled by the Polish edition of Forbes. In 2015, the Polish magazine Wprost named her one of the 50 most-influential Polish celebrities. Alongside her music career, Margaret has endorsed numerous products, designed a clothing line for fashion retailer Sinsay in 2015 and voiced Smurfstorm in the Polish-language version of Smurfs: The Lost Village in 2017. She also served as a coach on The Voice of Poland in 2019.
