Ola has recorded four albums, three featuring her original compositions and one featuring her unique interpretations of Jazz classics: Song of Hope (Song Nadzieji), Abundance (Tyle dobrego), A little bit of Jazz and Dreams Unlived.
Ola’s voice and music demonstrates a superb mix of her classical roots, her knack for European folkish flavour, and her true passion for jazz. In her music Ola is a practitioner of any style, she is all music, to the point where question of influence, mechanics, and sub-genre become irrelevant.
