Piotr Kowalczyk (born June 25, 1986), better known under his stage name Tau, and formerly as Medium, is a Polish rapper, vocalist, beatboxer and hip-hop producer. In 2008, he released his underground debut album Seans spirytystyczny (Séance) under the name Medium. His next underground album Alternatywne źródło energii (Alternative Energy Source) was released in 2010, which helped Medium to be spotted by Marcin "Tytus" Grabski, CEO of Asfalt Records, who offered him a contract.
On November 22, 2011, Tau released his official debut album (performing as Medium) titled Teoria równoległych wszechświatów (The Theory of Parallel Universes), which, despite slight promotion, sold over eight thousand copies in Poland.
In 2012 Tau announced that he had converted to Christianity. A few months later he released his second album Graal (Holy Grail). The album was highly criticized by many reviewers due to its radical lyrics. In 2013, Medium and producer Galus formed a one-album-group Egzegeza. The album Księga słów (The Book of Words) was released on June 28, 2013 in a limited amount of copies.
On December 6, 2013, Medium announced that he had changed his pseudonym to Tau due to the fact that his name Medium may have been seen as connected to mediumship practice, which is in opposition to Christian philosophy. A few days later, on December 13, 2013, he declared that he left Asfalt Records in order to form his own label, Bozon Records.
On December 3, 2014, Tau released his first studio album under his new name, titled Remedium. The album peaked at #4 on the OLiS chart, having sold over fifteen thousand copies the album went gold.
