Biography

[edit]

As a child he was a member of musical group Gawęda [pl]. In 1980 he played an episode in movie The Smaller Sky (based on novel by John Wain, directory Janusz Morgenstern).[2] He was a Broadcast Radio music presenter with radio stations Rozgłośnia Harcerska and Polskie Radio Program III from 1983 to 1985.[3][4]

In the 1980s, Stasiak was on the technical staff of the popular pop music "boy band" Papa Dance.[5][6] He became the lead singer in 1986, replacing Grzegorz Wawrzyszak.[3] With the band released two LP's: Poniżej krytyki (1986) and Nasz ziemski Eden (1988). In 1986 the song Naj story was the number one on the Lista Przebojów Programu Trzeciego.[7]

The band stopped activity in 1990, and Stasiak has started his solo career under the name "Mr. Dance."[3] He published three LP's: Mr Dance, Pozdrowienia dla Papa Dance and Życzenia. [8]

Group Papa Dance was revived in 2001 with Stasiak as a vocalist. In 2007 the group changed its name to Papa D.[9]

In 2008, he competed as a celebrity dancer in the eight season of Taniec z Gwiazdami but was the first one eliminated.[10][11] With Janja Lesar he was eliminated in the first episode. In 2008, he also publicly divorced his American wife Diana and married again.[12][13]

In 2015, he went on an international tour as Papa D, playing familiar hits.[14][15] Around this time, he says he fell in love with Sweden, and started learning Swedish.[16][17]

In 2016, he was playing as himself (kidnapped pop-music singer) in the 200th episode of popular TV series Ojciec Mateusz.[18]

He is currently the lead singer of Papa D. He also announced his solo career under the name Pablosson, after splitting with Mariusz Zabrocki,[1] and is performing under that name at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Sunflower."[1][19] "Sunflower" was a collaboration with Jens Bjerelius.[3][20] In 2018, as Pablosson, he participated in the Polish national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.[21][22]

He has stated he's always been in show business, and has never had a "normal" job.[1]
