Polish-born and Nashville-bound, Klaudia Magica is a country/Americana singer-songwriter whose path runs through Warsaw, Miami, London and a decade in corporate leadership before circling back to her first love: music. Her debut single, “This Is My Time,” cracked U.S. country radio and became something larger than a career moment—it became a mantra of self-trust. Today, her sound leans country-rock with autobiographical lyrics that speak to reinvention, feminine power, and choosing yourself. We sat down with Klaudia to talk identity, community, craft, and the future she’s building—on stage and at home.
Opening – Origins and Identity
IW: You’ve lived a truly global life from Warsaw to Miami, London, and now Nashville. When you think about all those moves, who is Klaudia Magica at her core?
Klaudia: I used to be addicted to motion: new countries, new goals, new stamps in the passport. But real wealth isn’t outside; it’s inside. At my core I’m a storyteller who’s lived, who has something to say, and who loves music more than anything. As a kid I’d put on headphones and pretend my bedroom was a stage. I don’t feel the need to prove anything anymore, I just want to tell the truth.
IW: You often describe music as something you returned to rather than something you chose. What made you walk away from it for a time and what finally called you back?
Klaudia: As a teenager I knew I didn’t want to be a “product” before I knew who I was. I loved country, but in Poland the market felt limited, and I didn’t yet have the courage or the voice. So I chose business, built a career, and buried the longing, like you bury pain to function. Every concert I attended I’d come home in tears because something in me hurt. The pandemic made me face the burnout. When I stepped on stage at the 40th Mrągowo Country Picnic in 2021, something opened heart, mind, everything. I realized I could write, and I haven’t stopped since.
IW: Your debut single “This Is My Time” feels almost prophetic. Was there a specific turning point that made you say, “Yes, this really is my time”?
Klaudia: When I wrote it, it actually wasn’t my time, it was a manifestation. The more I commit, the truer it becomes. There were milestones: stepping onto that festival stage again, entering the U.S. market, and finally leaving my corporate job in July 2025. The song is a reminder to choose yourself daily; it keeps meeting me where I am.
The Roots of Country
IW: Country music isn’t exactly mainstream in Poland, yet it became your heartbeat early on. What first drew you to that sound?
Klaudia: The community. Country builds a warmth and family feeling you don’t find everywhere. I loved pop and rock, but country felt like a culture that welcomed me in. Over time, it matched my voice and who I am: strong, emotive, a little rebellious.
IW: Your father played a big role in Poland’s country scene. What’s one lesson you learned from watching him balance passion and professionalism?
Klaudia: Be courageous and keep the soul intact. Running a country festival in Poland isn’t easy—modernizing it while staying authentic, keeping audiences happy without turning it into a gimmick. Watching him taught me to lead with conviction even when a path looks “off the grid.”
IW: You’ve performed at Mrągowo’s legendary Country Picnic since you were young. What does stepping onto that stage feel like now compared to your first time?
Klaudia: I’m a different woman, more self-aware and stronger vocally, but the biggest shift is singing my own songs. Standing there with lyrics I wrote about my life, and hearing people start to sing along—that’s everything.
The Creative Process
IW: Songs like “HER” and “Thank You” are deeply personal. How vulnerable is it to share those pieces of yourself with the world?
Klaudia: I welcome it. I’m bright and high-energy on stage, but I’ve also known depression, burnout, and the pain of betraying myself to fit a life. Sharing both sides feels like a duty—people need hope and honesty. A new life really can be one decision away.
IW: Working with Nashville producers and musicians like Noah Henson and Adam Box must have been transformative. How did those collaborations shape your sound?
Klaudia: I used to be eclectic; some pop, some dance, some folk. In Nashville I leaned into my natural lane: country-rock. Noah’s background nudged me toward the bolder, more dynamic side of my voice. It clicked…still feminine, but rebellious and charged.
IW: You’ve described “You Can Do It All” as an ode to leaving corporate life. What message do you hope women in business take from that song?
Klaudia: Run your own life. I see brilliant women pushing through environments that mute their softness and intuition. I did it too, until my body said “enough.” Now I move from authenticity. Strength and softness aren’t opposites, they’re how I make my best work.
Life Beyond the Spotlight
IW: You’re open about your passion for self-development, travel, yoga, and horses. How do these pursuits feed your creativity and keep you grounded?
Klaudia: I live intuitively now. Some days it’s yoga or an easy walk; other days it’s dancing barefoot in my living room. Horses are medicine. I no longer measure myself by routines or achievements. Now I ask, “What do you need today?” Then I listen.
IW: What’s something your fans might be surprised to learn about you off-stage?
Klaudia: That I’m very approachable. On stage I’m technicolor and high-voltage; in real life I’m soft and open. Come talk to me after a show—I’m there for you.
IW: You’ve built an active TikTok community by sharing your story honestly. What kind of conversations do you hope to inspire there — especially with young women chasing unconventional dreams?
Klaudia: That it’s never “too late.” If you feel the call, you’re already halfway there because you’re awake. I want women to know they can leave what’s wrong for what’s true and that the messy middle is part of the miracle.
Vision & Legacy
IW: What’s next for you both personally and professionally? Can we expect a full album or perhaps a U.S. tour soon?
Klaudia: I left corporate in July 2025 to go all in. I’m in the States for meetings, mapping the next phase: finishing an EP or album and planning a spring U.S. run, with summer in Poland for Mrągowo. The north star is simple: play my music and build a life that feels like home.
IW: You often mention your dream of owning a ranch with a music studio and permaculture garden. What does that dream represent to you now?
Klaudia: Home, partnership, and roots. I’ve loved the world, but I’m ready to build a place with a porch, studio, trees, and a life shared. I’ll probably cry on that porch the day it happens.
IW: And finally, for everyone reading who might be standing at the edge of their own big leap, what does “This Is My Time” mean to them today?
Klaudia: The universe catches courage. If you’re choosing yourself, you can’t make a mistake. That tug you feel is guidance: trust it and move.
Klaudia Magica’s story is a blueprint for brave living: listen in, step forward, and let the song catch up to the life you’re willing to claim. From the intimacy of “HER” to the rallying cry of “You Can Do It All,” her work reminds us that softness and strength can coexist—and that the most powerful kind of wealth is an inner one, measured in clarity and courage. For Klaudia, the destination isn’t just Nashville; it’s home.
