Margaret
Polished European pop with a sharp, urban edge. High-gloss synths meet a distinctive alto voice that balances candy-coated hooks with a gritty, bittersweet bite.

Margaret delivers a sound that feels like a neon-lit European metropolis at midnight. It is music that occupies the sweet spot between high-fashion artifice and genuine emotional grit. Her earlier work is a masterclass in the 'Scandi-pop' aesthetic: perfectly engineered, rhythmically driving, and undeniably catchy. However, there is always a layer of 'bittersweet' tension beneath the surface, preventing the tracks from feeling like disposable radio fare.
What truly distinguishes her is the evolution from a global pop starlet into a self-assured urban artist. Her vocal delivery often utilizes a lower, smokier register that brings a sense of gravity to even her most upbeat dance tracks. Whether she is singing in English for a global audience or in Polish for a more intimate, personal connection, her phrasing remains sharp, rhythmic, and occasionally influenced by the staccato flow of dancehall and modern R&B.
Start with 'Cool Me Down' to experience her peak international pop power, then move to 'Gaja Hornby' to hear her strip away the mask. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require both confidence and a touch of mystery, working just as well on a crowded dancefloor as it does during a solo late-night drive.
Małgorzata Jamroży (Polish: [mawɡɔˈʐata jamˈrɔʐɨ]; born 30 June 1991), known professionally as Margaret, is a Polish singer and songwriter. Before her mainstream debut, she performed with underground bands, recorded soundtracks for television commercials and films, and ran a fashion blog. Through her blog, she was discovered by a talent agent who helped her secure a record deal with Extensive Music in 2012. She rose to prominence the following year with the single "Thank You Very Much", which charted in several European countries. Under her contract with Extensive Music, Margaret released two studio albums: Add the Blonde (2014) and Monkey Business (2017). Both records reached the top 10 on the Polish charts, and spawned the singles "Wasted", "Start a Fire", "Heartbeat", "What You Do", and "Byle jak". She also collaborated with Matt Dusk on the jazz album Just the Two of Us (2015). After signing an international record deal with Warner Music in 2016, Margaret released the single "Cool Me Down", gaining particular recognition in Sweden. She subsequently participated in the country's music competition Melodifestivalen with the songs "In My Cabana" and "Tempo" in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Seeking artistic freedom, she parted ways with her record label and management in 2019, and eschewed mainstream pop for urban music on the Polish-language albums Gaja Hornby (2019) and Maggie Vision (2021), the latter becoming her highest-charting record to date. Following this genre shift, Margaret returned to radio-friendly pop with her 2024 sixth studio album, Siniaki i cekiny, which yielded the chart-topping single "Tańcz głupia". Margaret has received numerous accolades, including four MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Polish Act—more than any other artist in this category–five Eska Music Awards, and a Kids' Choice Award. She was included on Forbes Poland's 2014 list of the 100 most valuable stars of Polish show business, and on Wprost's 2015 list of the 50 most influential Polish celebrities. Alongside her music career, Margaret has endorsed numerous products, served as a coach on The Voice of Poland in 2019 and 2025, and co-founded the record label Gaja Hornby Records with her husband Kacezet in 2020. As an advocate for the LGBT community, she launched the annual series "Tęczowa Szkoła Maggie" to celebrate Pride Month.
