After a five-year break, Artur Orzech returned to Polish Television as a Eurovision commentator. He discovered his passion for music right after graduating from college, which he got into by accident in 1983. Initially, the presenter planned to study Japanese studies, but fate pushed him towards Iranian studies. Orzech discovered a hidden talent for language, which he used in his later work.
He hosted Eurovision for years. Few people know who he is by education
Only a year after starting his studies, Orzech received a job as a translator. He even participated in negotiations regarding the sale of turbines to a sugar factory.

After graduating, the university authorities offered him a job at the Faculty of Oriental Studies.

So he left the group, but he regretted his decision just a few months later. Music gave him joy and excitement, which is why he started his adventure with radio in the early 1990s.

In parallel with his work on the radio, Artur Orzech started his television career at TVP1. He was the host of “Chances for Success”, “Questions for Breakfast” and “Sing and Fight”. He had been the host of Eurovision since 1992, but his cooperation with Polish Television ended abruptly in 2021. Then Aleksander Sikora and Marek Sierocki became commentators of the competition.
