Art’n’Voices was founded in 2010 in Wejherowo. It consists of eight singers associated with the music scene of Pomerania and the Tri-City. The band's hallmark are pieces created on special request by contemporary composers (among which those by a member of the band – A. Rocławska-Musiałczyk – occupy a special place). The octet has been awarded many times at national and international competitions, e.g. "Polifonico Guido di Arezzo" in Italy and "Tolosako Abesbatza Lehiaketa" in Spain – the latest achievement is victory in the International ‘a cappella’ Competition in Leipzig in May 2023; it has 10 Grand Prix awards to its credit. To date, it has participated in the recording of nine CDs, including three original albums. In 2021, the Polish Phonographic Academy honored him with the Fryderyk award for the album Midnight Stories in the category "Album of the Year - contemporary music". The musicians successfully perform in Poland and Europe.
