Edyta Anna Górniak (Polish pronunciation: [ɛ'dɨta 'gurɲak]) (born 14 November 1972, Ziębice, Poland) is a Polish pop singer with a career spanning 3 decades. She is noted for possessing a wide vocal range of approximately four octaves. She started as a musical theatre actress in 1990. Górniak performed in the most popular musical in Polish history called Metro. Some shows of Metro took place on Broadway. With the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 she began her career as a pop singer in her native country and internationally. So far, Edyta has sold over 2 million albums and was featured on more than 160 magazine covers. The readers of "Maxim" magazine's internet site have voted her their most beautiful international cover girl. Edyta remains today arguably one of Poland's most gifted and beautiful singers.

At the age of 14 Edyta formed a band and was playing at private parties and evening dances. After taking singing lessons, in 1989, aged 16, she gave her first public appearance on a Polish television talent show where she won with Sam Brown's hit song "Stop!". In 1990 she performed on the Opole Polish Song Festival in a contest for debuting singers with an honourable mention. During the next three years she performed in music theatres. She was the star of the musical Metro ("Subway") – the most popular and longest running homegrown musical in Polish history, which brought her to Broadway. Her beauty was noticed and was offered a job by "Ellite" model agency (New York), but Edyta rejected it preferring to continue her career as a singer. Later she sang in three musical performances Do grającej szafy grosik wrzuć ("Put a Dime in the Jukebox") with classic Polish pop songs from the pre-rock'n'roll era, Blues Minus,with songs of Polish author Jonasz Kofta and Brel ,with Polish versions of songs by the Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel. In 1993 Edyta took part in the Baltic Song Contest in Sweden and finished in third place.
