Margaret (born 1991) is a Polish singer and songwriter. Before her
mainstream debut, she performed with underground bands, recorded
soundtracks for television commercials and produced a fashion blog.
Through her blogging, she was discovered by music manager Sławomir
Berdowski and signed by the record label Extensive Music. Margaret
gained international recognition with her singles "Thank You Very Much"
(2013) and "Cool Me Down" (2016), the first of which was included on her
first extended play (EP) All I Need, and charted in several European
countries. In 2014, she released her debut studio album Add the Blonde,
which reached the top ten in the Polish charts. By re-releasing it in
2016, Margaret had her first Polish top five and Sweden-charting single
with "Cool Me Down". In 2015, she recorded a collaborative jazz album
with Matt Dusk titled Just the Two of Us. Her third studio album, Monkey
Business (2017), became her second top-ten album in Poland.
