Polish baritone Jędrzej Suska started to learn music at the age of 7 when he enrolled in the  Poznań music school, where he learned to play the cello. Throughout his school years and  later, at university, he was always drawn to music and even more so towards singing, which  pushed him to become a member of numerous amateur and professional choirs, both in  Poland (including the Polish National Youth Choir) and abroad (e.g., International Chor  Akademie). He graduated as an engineer in the field of bridge design and continued his career  in his chosen field for a few years. 

At the age of 28, he started taking singing lessons and at the same age enrolled at the Poznań Music Academy to study opera and lied. The exact motivations for this decision remain elusive,  even to him. The course gave him the opportunity to explore the stage: he performed the roles  of Kurdesz in an opera by Karol Kurpiński and Widmo in Widma by Stanisław Moniuszko.  During his academy years, he also performed the role of Don Giovanni in Don Giovanni and  that of Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro. His first role outside of university was Belcore in L’elisir  d’amore by Donizetti, which he performed in Italy in Teramo, Atri, and Ortona and in August this  year he performed the role of Harlequin in Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos in Berlin.

Like any true baritone, he is a lied lover, which is directly connected to his greatest hobby:  languages. He is fluent in English, Polish, German, Italian, French, and Russian. Among the  many people who influenced his musical development, the most noteworthy are: Polish  baritone Prof. Andrzej Ogórkiewicz, Italian soprano Michela Sburlati, Polish stage director  Przemysław Klonowski, Italian conductor Simone Genuini, and Bulgarian diction coach Natalia  Farhi.
