Eldo

Leszek Kaźmierczak, more widely known as Eldo (or Eldoka), was born on July 27, 1979, in Warsaw. He is one of the most recognizable Polish rappers and lyricists, as well as a radio journalist. Eldo gained popularity as a member of the legendary hip-hop group Grammatik, which marked the beginning of his musical career.

Eldo is renowned not only for his rap skills but also as the author of deep and reflective lyrics. His work often transcends the boundaries of typical hip-hop, which is evident in his collaborations with artists from various musical backgrounds. Examples of such collaborations include his projects with Russian DJ Vadim, the Czech duo Indy & Wich, and well-known Polish artists like Leszek Możdżer and Monika Brodka, for whom he wrote lyrics for the songs on her album “Moje piosenki.”

However, Eldo’s activities are not limited to music alone. His media involvement includes working as a radio journalist. He was associated with Radio Euro, where he hosted the “DJ Pasmo” show, and with Weszło FM, where listeners could hear him in the weekly show “Eldoradio.”

As a respected artist, Eldo has performed on many prestigious stages, including the international Hip Hop Kemp festival and alongside DJ Daniel Drumz. His talent has also been recognized by the music industry—in 2011, “Machina” magazine ranked him 5th on the list of the 30 best Polish rappers.

Eldo is an artist who continually seeks new means of expression and inspiration, making him one of the most important and influential figures in the Polish hip-hop scene. His creativity and commitment to music make him not only an exceptionally talented figure but also a profoundly significant one in musical culture.
