Polish guitarist and songwriter ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ, a proud son of Wałbrzych/Poland now based in Cairo, is thrilled to announce the release of his highly anticipated album, “Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2”, set for autumn 2025. Following the success of Living Room Rockstar Pt. 1, named Album of the Year 2025 by Metal Impact Radio, this 15-track record continues Citowicz’s journey of weaving heartfelt melodies and electrifying riffs inspired by his hometown and global experiences. The album has already secured its first media patronage from Metal Shock Finland and renowned Tarja Virkamiri, marking a significant milestone in its promotion.
Citowicz’s musical odyssey began over 15 years ago when he signed with Downboys Records, owned by members of the multi-platinum band Warrant.
Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2, featuring the lead single ‘The World I’ll Hold For You’ is a deeply personal project. Recorded with the exceptional bass work of Patryk Szymański, whose intuitive understanding of Citowicz’s vision brought unparalleled depth to the album’s sound, the record captures the spirit of Wałbrzych’s Podzamcze district, where Citowicz lived for 32 years, and the vibrant energy of Cairo, his home for the past 17 years with his half-Egyptian, half-Italian wife. Szymański’s bass lines, described by Citowicz as “the heartbeat of the album,” elevate tracks with a dynamic groove that complements the guitarist’s emotive solos and storytelling.
“Songwriting is my way of breathing life into memories and dreams,” says Citowicz. “It’s like building a bridge between Wałbrzych’s quiet streets and the world’s stages, connecting my past to the present with every chord. I’m endlessly grateful to my listeners and collaborators like Patryk, who make these songs feel alive.” On his inspiration, he adds, “The Red Sea’s vastness, midnight sessions under Cairo’s stars, and the raw energy of ‘80s and ‘90s hard rock—Bon Jovi, Desmond Child, Richie Sambora—fuel this album. It’s a love letter to Wałbrzych and the universal longing for home.”
Fans can explore teasers, lyric videos, and unreleased tracks on Citowicz’s YouTube channel including a YouTube Short showcasing Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2:
Official singles and releases are available on Spotify and major streaming platforms like Apple Music and Tidal.
“I hope Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2 resonates with dreamers and fans of late ‘80s hard rock, blending that classic energy with modern production to carry Wałbrzych’s spirit to the world,” Citowicz shares. “The support from Metal Shock Finland and Tarja is a humbling honor, and I’m excited to bring this music to listeners everywhere.” Citowicz is planning a concert in Wałbrzych and charitable initiatives to give back to his community.
