Piotr Torunski graduated from the Music Conservatory in Katowice (Poland) Master Classical Studies (2003-2008). During his studies he collaborated with the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki and Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted by John Axelrod (USA).

In 2008-2009, he collaborated internationally with Jim Black, Ravie Coltrane and Ralph Alessie.

His first solo album "The Bass Invasion" premiered in New York at Break Thru Radio and the later album "Moods" (Torunski Brothers) became an instant hit in 2014.
