Better Person is the cinematic and sadly dreamy solo project of Polish vocalist/songwriter Adam Byczkowski. Drawing on elements of '80s synth pop and sophisti-pop alike, Byczkowski crafted lonely, bittersweet musical atmospheres that reached full power on his 2020 album Something to Lose.

Byczkowski was born in the Polish city of Sopot and spent time playing in various post-rock and indie bands before striking out solo in the mid-2010s. In 2015, he released "Sentiment," the first single under the Better Person banner, and quickly followed up with the release of the EP It's Only You in 2016. At this point, Byczkowski was stationed in Berlin most of the time but nomadically moving internationally as well as touring nonstop in support of his music. After meeting MGMT's Ben Goldwasser while in Berlin, Byczkowski traveled to Los Angeles to work with Goldwasser as producer of his debut full-length album, Something to Lose. The record was released by Montreal label Arbutus in October of 2020. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
