He was, or is, a member of the following bands: Poland (founded in 1979), Novelty Poland (founded in 1981), Kult (founded in 1982), Kazik Na Żywo, El Doopa, Buldog. He also took part in the Yugoton project.
His genre is most accurately described by the term "eclectic" or "crossover", as various instruments, styles, citations, extracts and tributes appear. The music itself contains elements of rock, punk, hip-hop, dub, ska, reggae, traditional folk tunes, ballads, classical music and -more recently- yass, which is a Polish variation of jazz. Most of his solo records are self-produced, made using multiple, both live and synthetic, instruments and various sampling techniques. Kazik himself sings, plays saxophone and guitars, uses drum machines, synthesizers, samplers. He frequently asks various musicians to join his recordings, some of them are regular members of Kult, some are freelancers or session musicians.
Kazik, as a songwriter, uses explicit, often offensive, foul language, he does not avoid provocative, accusative lines and statements. He uses both simple, common vocabulary and complex, sometimes sophisticated and difficult syntax. His dense lyrics (sometimes sung, sometimes rapped) contain a lot of social, religious and political criticism and commentary, but also relate to each other. He is known for his broad sense of humour, his lines are often hilarious, ironic, intertextual, intellectually and culturally involved. Previous works (both his own and his bands') are sometimes sampled or quoted directly. Some of his works are re-arranged, played by KNŻ and Kult. Two of Kazik's albums, "Melodie Kurta Weila i coś ponadto" and "Piosenki Toma Waitsa" are made up of cover songs of Tom Waits and Kurt Weil. These were released under his full name Kazik Staszewski, probably to distinct them from his original material.
Kazik never gives live shows of his solo recordings (except for the two tributes, which were made with a bit more "regular" line-ups, so could be presented on stage). Despite his doubtless popularity in Poland, his recordings don't appear too frequently in media, except for a few single promo tracks. Apart from his musical career he acted in off-movies and used to write columns for a popular Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza.
Kazik has been releasing his records via S.P.Records label, which is owned by Sławek Pietrzak, his friend, a former member of Kult, a musician that appears occasionally on Kazik’s LPs.

Kazik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taki dobry chłopak swego kąta własnego nie ma
To nie w porządku
Taki dobry hombre musi tułać się po świecie
Taki dobry chłopak tęskni w dalekich stronach
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty kurwo jebana
Za to, że DD się tuła po obcych krajach
Za to właśnie!
Taki dobry chłopak - a tuła się po świecie
Taki dobry chłopak a kąta własnego nie ma
Nie mógł być uczciwy w swoim własnym domu
Od Buenos Aires krąży po Glasgow po kryjomu
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty świnio z gestapo
Że go skazałeś, z domu go wygnałeś
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty świnio z gestapo
Że go skazałeś właśnie na to
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty kurwo jebana
Za to, że DD się tuła po obcych krajach
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty świnio z gestapo
Że go skazałeś właśnie na to
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty kurwo jebana
Za to, że DD się tuła po obcych krajach
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty kurwo jebana
Za to właśnie!
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty szmato z gestapo
Że go skazałeś, z domu go wygnałeś
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty szmato z gestapo
Że go skazałeś właśnie na to
Będziesz wisiał Miller - ty kurwo jebana
Za to, że DD się tuła po obcych krajach
The song "DD" by Kazik is about a good person who is forced to wander around the world as he does not have a place of his own. The lyrics describe him as a good guy who longs for his own place but cannot be honest in his own home. He travels around the world from Buenos Aires to Glasgow secretly.
The song is written in a confrontational tone, as the singer blames Miller for his situation. He accuses Miller of being a "kurwa jebana" (a Polish curse word that roughly translates to "fucking whore" or "son of a bitch") because Miller had a part in his expulsion from home leading him to wander the world. The song has an intense feeling of anger and bitterness, with the singer expressing his regret at the way his life has turned out.
Overall, "DD" is a poignant song about the struggles of not having a home and having to wander the world. The lyrics speak to the universal desire for stability and belonging.
