I first met Luk via Skype a few months back and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and to talk songwriting. He has a wonderful passion for writers as well a firm grasp of the ins and outs of songwriting and the music business. I think anyone who cares as deeply about a song as Luk would make a fine guide for writers trying to be heard!

I can highly recommend working with Mr. Łukasz Dyakowski. I commissioned songs from him in various styles for the needs of the TV series Blondynka. I provided the lyrics and specified the character of the compositions to be created. All the resulting songs were very useful to us. The work was efficient and timely. I would particularly like to emphasize his excellent sense of style and ability to navigate various stylistic categories. The performers felt perfectly at home in the songs written for them, which speaks to his skillful selection of musical elements suited to their abilities. Warsaw 07.09.2020 — Dr hab.
