I was born on 10th of June, 1983 in Gostynin (Poland). I'm a teacher in Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice. I received a Master's Degree in the above mentioned academy in two faculties: piano performance and composition and arrangement.

Fronting my own band Tomaszewski Trio I'm a winner of all most important jazz competitions in Poland.

During my career I performed and worked with top international and Polish artists such as: Maria Schneider, Nigel Kennedy, Eric Marienthal, Dean Brown, Rick Margitza, Larry Coryell, Xantone Blacq, Z-Star, Judy Bady, Jarosław Smietana, Piotr Wojtasik, Grzegorz Nagórski, Anna Serafinska, Halina Młynkowa, Mieczysław Szczesniak, Maciej Miecznikowski and many others.

My recording with Grzegorz Nagórski Quartet "Dedication" received a prestigious Fryderyk prize for Jazz Debut Recording of the Year in 2009.

I serve as a teacher in several international summer music workshops across the country.
