ViVid is a Polish pop rock band formed in April 2007 by Maciej Durczak, Wojciech Łuszczykiewicz and Tomasz Lubert.
History
In 2008 the band released its debut single, "Bella". The song was submitted to the Polish national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 (Piosenka dla Europy 2008), but did not qualify for the televised final.[1] The track appeared on the group's debut studio album, Video gra, released in late March the same year.
In February 2009, co-founder Tomasz Lubert left the band.[2]
In 2010, the group competed for the title of Polish Hit of the Summer 2010 at the Bydgoszcz Hit Festival, ultimately placing twelfth with 3.01% of the viewers’ votes.
The single "Papieros" ("Cigarette") reached no. 5 on the Polish Airplay Chart and no. 1 on the Polish Video Chart.[3][4]
In 2011 the band won Group of the Year at the Eska Music Awards. One day earlier, its second studio album, Nie obchodzi nas rock, had been released.[5]
On 7 February 2015, during the 6th "Gwiazdy Dobroczynności" Charity Ball, the band received the award in the Culture category for supporting the deaf and hard of hearing. Noticing barriers to cultural access, the group collaborated with Młodzi Migają Muzykę to produce a sign-language video for "Dobrze, że jesteś".[6] The song previewed their third studio album, Doskonale wszystko jedno. Subsequent singles included "Kryzysowy" (featuring Jan Borysewicz), "Wszystko jedno", and "Ktoś nowy". The latter’s video depicted a same-sex wedding.[7]
On 26 August 2016, Video performed "Ktoś nowy" at the Eska Music Awards 2016, where they received their third statuette for Best Band.
