Meet one of Poland’s biggest music stars, Natalia Kukulska, rehearsing in the music studio at her Warsaw home. It’s the title track from her new Album Sexi-Flexi. Natalia is just 32, but she’s walked a long musical journey.


I was six years old when I sang my first song.


 In the mid 1 80s, little Natalia was an unconventional pop star, but Poland loved her. Three childhood albums sold more than 2 million copies.


 I , never,  look so nice, so pretty. I like... like... like a lot of girls because of my glasses and I was a little bit fat, and I think that people like me because they saw, “oh, this is a typical girl. ”


 Natalia comes from a famous family, both celebrated 2 and tragic 3.


 My daddy is a composer and my mother, my mother was a singer. Ah... I said  that she was... she was a singer because she’s gone.


 Natalia’s mother, Anna Jantar, was one of the biggest Polish performers in the 70s. She was killed in a plane crash when Natalia was just four. Poland watched Natalia grow up and come to terms with that loss.


 That was hard, because you know every, every time when... when I was on the stage, I know that people are looking at me, but they, they still see also my mother in me.


 In 1996, she launched her adult career. Six albums later, she’s confident people see her as an artist in her own right, successful, diverse and happy.


 And the most important, I think, to me in my job is to do what I want, not what I should do. And I think that I... I have the time now. It’s a good time.


 As Natalia grew, her country transformed from communism to thriving democracy.


 Communism was so sad. Everything was uncolored, let’s say, and music was one... one of the things that make, make people more belief in the future.


 Poland’s future is now one of great optimism. And Natalia says that brings great energy to the country’s contemporary music.


 Everything is changing around you, and that’s inspiring.


 Polish music was on show at this recent concert in London’s Wembley Arena 4. Natalia performed with the lineup of the country’s biggest music aces 5. While this artist says she’s inspired by her homeland, she also hopes her music is influencing, called “new sense of empowerment”.
