Błażej Król is an up-and-coming Polish musician currently active mainly in the alternative genre.

He started his music career with the band Kawałek Kulki, which he founded along with Paweł Turłaj (drums) and Magdalena Turłaj (violin, vocals) in 2001 in Gorzów Wielkopolski. He himself played the electric guitar and sang. The band is usually described as alternative rock, but it can also fit into the Polish sung-poetry genre. They released three EPs, the first in 2003, and were successful at various music festivals and local concerts.

In 2010, Król started a second band, the duet UL/KR with Maurycy Kiebzak-Górski. They released their first album in 2012 and a second one a year later. The band was even more alternative than Kawałek Kulki, drawing on both German romanticism and electronica; they describe their music as coming “straight from the bubbling swamp.” They ended their collaboration in 2014.

Since then, Król has been working on a solo career. He has already released 4 albums.
