Anna Wacura was awarded the title of Charismatic Woman and it is hardly surprising.. Her voice and piano playing captivate audiences. She composes music, motivates women to change and grow, and wonderfully looks after her little girls at home.

Born in Sosnowiec, as was Jan Kiepura. Raised in Nowy Sącz, just as Majka Jeżowska. She lives and is actively involved in the Warsaw music scene, partaking various projects.

– Music has always been with me. People are my greatest support and inspiration for action – I need their attention, admiration, that sparkle in their eyes when listening to me on stage. – emphasises the artist.

Anna’s singing history dates back to her childhood. Her sister, two years her junior, suffered from motion sickness. During a trip, their father, a self-taught musician from Dąbrowa Górnicza, found an unusual remedy… He made his daughters sing in the car. This is how the sisters’ joint artistic journey began.

– That’s how the “Wacura Sisters” were born – recalls Anna.

Their love of music was instilled in them by their father, a performer in one of the best Silesian wedding bands, namely Casus. When Anna was five, the family moved to the USA for a short time, and after return, they moved to Nowy Sącz. It was there that they took first serious steps in music, learning to play the piano and performing.

The stage and first successes

Later on, Ania moved to Kraków and started solo journey, but didn’t give up performances with her sister, Ewa. She sang at Piwnica pod Baranami with Mieczysław Święcicki, giving concerts she still remembers today. Whether with her sister or solo, she always chose ambitious pieces allowing her voice to resonate to its fullest.

– I always wanted my concerts and my voice to evoke emotions, to move listeners and touch their hearts. – she notes.

Anna’s a trained pianist. She attended the First and Second Level Music School in Nowy Sącz. She’s collaborated with a rock band, written her own songs for children and composed pieces on difficult matters, such as hate. She also sings in English.
– Music is a language understood and felt by anyone. – she adds.

Singing that stirs emotions

Anna emphasises that she pours all her emotions into music.
– I want to move people, bring about their feelings. At concerts, I often see their reactions, I see tears in the eyes of the audience, joy and smiles on their faces – this is my greatest reward and recognition for what I do.

Her song titled ‘Wszystko będzie dobrze’ is a musical manifesto for all those who need support, faith and hope for a beautiful tomorrow. In turn, one of her songs performed during a farewell ceremony has gained over 2 million views on TikTok, proving that the voice can deeply move and help people enter the grieving process.

Anna’s sung affirmations reached over 1.5 million views on Facebook and a similarly on TikTok.
– It’s truly amazing that the words I create for myself and for women become a tool for self-growth. It’s obvious that one can’t squeeze water from a stone, so I create for myself, because music cures the body, mind and soul, and then it turns out that what gave me strength, supports and motivates others. It’s a wonderful feeling – she emphasises.

Transformation and workshops

Despite the number of views, Anna is mostly proud of her own transformation.
– Over the years, I’ve learned to look at myself not from a perspective of lack, but of strength. I believe each person is their own creation and takes life into their own hands. – she points out.
Today, she runs workshops entitled ‘Love Yourself – Powrót do ustawień fabrycznych’, during which she teaches women how to regain their inner balance and power.
– Women feel my energy, and I see how they change their approach towards life. It gives me enormous satisfaction.
Her activities aren’t limited to women. For several years, she’s been eagerly conducting public speaking classes and music workshops for seniors.
– Seniors are extremely open and grateful. This work brings me great joy – the artist adds.

I love life, I love music and people. I want to entertain, move and touch the deepest strings of emotion. This  is my path and my privilege – say Anna Wacura

Love, rebellion and self-therapy

Anna openly admits she’s a rebel, but through transformation she’s learned to be herself.
– I mainly sing about love, pouring all my love into songs and motherhood. Writing about women is my self-therapy.
Her most important song is ‘Uwierz’, addressed specifically to women. It’s available on Spotify and holds a special place in her heart.
October 2025 will see the premiere of ‘Układ Idealny’, the song bringing the smell of freedom, ease with a slightly feisty sense of humour.
A rock pulse, a powerful chorus and lyrics saying that one doesn’t have to follow the crowd to feel fulfilled and doesn’t have to be in a relationship to feel complete.
– When performing “Wacura Show”, I combine songs with funny banter, memories and reflections on life. I tell my story through singing. – says Anna Wacura.

Plans for the future

Anna wants to continue her growth, give as many concerts as possible, also with other musicians, through creating a wide artistic offer.
– I love life, I love music and people. I want to entertain, move and touch the deepest strings of emotion. This is my path and my privilege – she sums up.
She mothers two daughters while pursuing her dreams and inspiring others. Her powerful, beautiful and sincere voice has become a symbol of courage and strength, and she herself proves that true charisma comes from passion, authenticity and love.
