In Poland he is known for being a leader of a pop group Ich Troje. Wiśniewski created this group in 1995 with Jacek Łągwa and Magda Femme (Wiśniewski married Femme one year later). Femme was Ich Troje's first vocalist from 1995 to 2001. Next vocalist was Justyna Majkowska from 2001 to 2003 and in this time Ich Troje was the most popular pop group in Poland. They represented Poland at the 2003 with the song Keine Grenzen. They placed seventh, the second best result for Poland at Eurovision (after Edyta Górniak's second place in 1994). Then Justyna Majkowska left the group. In 2003 Wiśniewski chose new vocalist, Anna Świątczak who won special eliminations in TVP show Szansa na sukces. Michał married Anna in 2006. The same year Ich Troje won Polish eliminations to 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with song Follow my heart. Former Ich Troje vocalists, Justyna Majkowska and Magda Femme and Real McCoy were invited to perform with Michał Wiśniewski, Jacek Łągwa and Anna Wiśniewska. Ich Troje failed to reach the finals in Athens. Anna Wiśniewska left the group in 2010 to start her solo career. She divorced from Michał in June 2011.
