A FATHER’S TRIBUTE

“This album is dedicated to my son, Jonasz,” Citowicz states simply. “Every song, every note carries his memory. As someone on the autism spectrum, music is my language when other words fail. This album is how I keep him alive, how I process the impossible, how I survive.”
Recorded during the most challenging year of his life following the loss of his stillborn son at 17 weeks, Living Room Rockstar Part 2 represents more than artistic achievement—it is survival made audible.

THE LIVING ROOM ROCKSTAR PHILOSOPHY

The album’s title track opens with a statement of identity: the “living room rockstar” who never played stadiums but never stopped believing that music matters.
“I never became the rockstar on those posters in my teenage bedroom in Wałbrzych,” Citowicz reflects. “But I became something perhaps more important—someone who still creates, still believes, still plays like it means something. Because it does. That’s what a living room rockstar is.”

13 SONGS, ONE JOURNEY

The album’s 13 tracks span from immediate energy (“Destroyed But Not Defeated”) to the signature sound of “Kairski,” through power ballads like “A Heart That Burns” and the acoustic drama of closing track “Hole in My Soul.”
“I’m incredibly proud of this album,” Citowicz shares. “It mixes late 80s hard rock and pop with modern vocal production and contemporary technology. It’s another album of my dreams—the kind of record I wished existed when I was that kid with Bon Jovi posters covering every wall.”
He continues: “Track four, ‘Soul is Gone,’ brings that Warrant meets Dokken aggression. By track eight, ‘A Heart That Burns’ becomes our power ballad moment—that ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ position where emotion peaks. Then ‘Venom and Stardust’ showcases those Desmond Child-inspired key changes, and we close with ‘Hole in My Soul’—acoustic, dramatic, leaving listeners wanting more.”

THE PATRYK SZYMAŃSKI PARTNERSHIP

Eleven of the album’s thirteen tracks feature bass and production work by longtime collaborator Patryk Szymański, whose contributions proved essential to the album’s realization.
“Patryk is my friend who adds bass to my songs and always makes them more than complete,” Citowicz explains. “He helped shape the final result, bringing his magic to eleven tracks and supporting the production throughout. This album exists because he believed in it when I struggled to believe in myself.”

FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.

“My wife has been my strength through this darkness,” Citowicz notes. ” Her support made everything possible. After 17 years together, creating music became our shared language during the hardest time imaginable.”
Beyond family, Citowicz acknowledges the community that sustained him: “Beautiful friends in my niche have supported my music all this time. They’ve walked this journey with me, never looking away when things got hard. This album is also for them.”

MODERN MEETS CLASSIC

Musically, Living Room Rockstar Part 2 bridges eras—honoring the guitar-driven anthems and melodic craftsmanship of late 80s rock whilst utilizing contemporary vocal production and modern recording technology.
“I wanted the songs to feel classic but sound current,” Citowicz explains. “The guitar work, the hooks, the song structures—they channel Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Aerosmith. But the vocal production uses modern techniques that make everything feel immediate and present. It’s respecting tradition whilst embracing what technology can do today.”
The result is an album that satisfies both nostalgia and contemporary listening expectations—songs that could have existed in 1989 but were actually crafted in 2024-2025.

MUSIC AS SURVIVAL

For Citowicz, Living Room Rockstar Part 2 represents more than artistic output—it is essential therapy and survival mechanism.
“Being on the autism spectrum means I process the world differently,” he explains. “Music is where everything makes sense. When I couldn’t process losing Jonasz through conversation or normal grief, I processed it through guitar, through songwriting, through production decisions. Each track became a step toward survival.”
He adds: “This isn’t just an album. It’s proof that creating art can carry you through the unsurvivable. It’s evidence that love finds expression even when the person you love is gone. It’s my way of refusing to let pain have the final word.”

AVAILABLE NOW

Living Room Rockstar Part 2 is available now on all major streaming platforms.
“I’m proud of every second of this album,” Citowicz concludes. “From the opening statement of ‘Connecting The Dots’ to the final notes of ‘Hole in My Soul,’ this is everything I wanted to say but couldn’t say any other way. For Jonasz. Always for Jonasz.”
