In 2015, he performed his own song “Najlepiej” in Must Be The Music. In 2017, he released his debut album, which featured leading Polish musicians and guests from abroad, including: Dante Luciani. In 2018, as one of the nine, he was selected with the song “Czy się” for the Debuts concert as part of the 55th KFPP in Opole. Together with the artist Magdalena Malena Jankowska, he co-creates the performance “MaloGranie”, which was staged in Poland, Italy and Cyprus. In 2020, during the first lockdown, he and Magdalena went out to the balcony of an apartment in a Warsaw tenement house for as many as 64 days in a row. He sang one song every day to cheer people’s hearts, which received great attention on social media. In 2022, he created the Sołtan Doors project, in which he presents the compositions of The Doors in their own arrangements for a six-person band. In 2023, he took part in The Voice Of Poland, in which he reached the semi-finals, which brought, among others, a new single for Universal “Niespotykani”.

Sołtan Doors Band

The post-doors trend is perfect for Michał Sołtan’s work. An energetic concert combining rock, funk and blues shows the alternative side of the artist.
What makes this project stand out? A combination of the tradition of “The Doors” music with a brass section. This idea is a kind of innovation and space for solos by unique instrumentalists. During the concert we will hear famous songs such as: Riders On The Storm, Break On Through, Light My Fire, People Are Strange, Hello I Love You, The End. For dessert, Michał Sołtan’s original songs, such as “Hide and Seek”, “Weź”, Kitchen Sink, Running (music by M. Sołtan, lyrics by Mungo Keulemans), the popular “Origami Blues” (music by M. Sołtan, lyrics by M.Sołtan, D. Pietrasik), or “List” (music: M.Sołtan, words: J. Maślanka). The latter, Michał, sings thinking about his birth father, whom he saw only once in his life.
