Polish guitarist and songwriter ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ, a proud son of Wałbrzych/Poland now based in Cairo, is thrilled to announce the release of his highly anticipated album, “Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2”, set for autumn 2025. Following the success of Living Room Rockstar Pt. 1, named Album of the Year 2025 by Metal Impact Radio [https://x.com/AndrzejCitowicz/status/1941440593395319076], this 15-track record continues Citowicz’s journey of weaving heartfelt melodies and electrifying riffs inspired by his hometown and global experiences. The album has already secured its first media patronage from Metal Shock Finland and renowned Tarja Virkamiri, marking a significant milestone in its promotion.

Citowicz’s musical odyssey began over 15 years ago when he signed with Downboys Records, owned by members of the multi-platinum band Warrant.

Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2, featuring the lead single ‘The World I’ll Hold For You’ is a deeply personal project. Recorded with the exceptional bass work of Patryk Szymański, whose intuitive understanding of Citowicz’s vision brought unparalleled depth to the album’s sound, the record captures the spirit of Wałbrzych’s Podzamcze district, where Citowicz lived for 32 years, and the vibrant energy of Cairo, his home for the past 17 years with his half-Egyptian, half-Italian wife. Szymański’s bass lines, described by Citowicz as “the heartbeat of the album,” elevate tracks with a dynamic groove that complements the guitarist’s emotive solos and storytelling.

“Songwriting is my way of breathing life into memories and dreams,” says Citowicz. “It’s like building a bridge between Wałbrzych’s quiet streets and the world’s stages, connecting my past to the present with every chord. I’m endlessly grateful to my listeners and collaborators like Patryk, who make these songs feel alive.” On his inspiration, he adds, “The Red Sea’s vastness, midnight sessions under Cairo’s stars, and the raw energy of ‘80s and ‘90s hard rock—Bon Jovi, Desmond Child, Richie Sambora—fuel this album. It’s a love letter to Wałbrzych and the universal longing for home.”

Fans can explore teasers, lyric videos, and unreleased tracks on Citowicz’s YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/user/Citowicz], including a YouTube Short showcasing Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2: https://youtube.com/shorts/G23StUg4tW0?si=Ef99DsC9kJTSJ_1_

Official singles and releases are available on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/7aIeg5DyI7xwkYLsBgJNWf?si=_Amb-D57TmOrv6oHt0advg] and major streaming platforms like Apple Music and Tidal.

“I hope Living Room Rockstar Pt. 2 resonates with dreamers and fans of late ‘80s hard rock, blending that classic energy with modern production to carry Wałbrzych’s spirit to the world,” Citowicz shares. “The support from Metal Shock Finland and Tarja is a humbling honor, and I’m excited to bring this music to listeners everywhere.” Citowicz is planning a concert in Wałbrzych and charitable initiatives to give back to his community.

Former DownBoys Records recording artist ANDRZEJ CITOWICZ has released his most personal and emotionally charged single to date, “The World I’ll Hold For You,” a stunning power ballad dedicated to his unborn son. The track serves as the lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album “Living Room Rockstar Part 2” and acts as a special invitation to an exclusive EP that will be released soon.

The song emerged from a profound life moment when Citowicz and his wife discovered they were expecting their first child at what he describes as their “special age.”

“When we found out we were expecting, I couldn’t help but write music about this incredible journey,” Citowicz reflects. “How could I not write for him? Every word in the lyrics, every single note means more than the world to me. I’m overwhelmed with joy knowing that this song will probably become the soundtrack to my future son’s life story.”

The deeply personal ballad showcases Citowicz’s evolution as both a guitarist and songwriter, drawing inspiration from his songwriting heroes including Desmond Child and Jon Bon Jovi. “Musically, this represents a beautiful meeting between my own style and the influences that shaped me as a songwriter,” he explains. “It’s honest, it’s vulnerable, and it comes from the deepest place in my heart.”

Adding special significance to the release is the contribution of longtime collaborator and dear friend Patryk Szymanski, who has supported Citowicz’s musical journey for more than a decade. For “The World I’ll Hold For You,” Szymanski not only provided his signature bass work but also took on mixing and production duties for this special power ballad.

“I cannot be more grateful to Patryk,” Citowicz says with genuine warmth. “He’s been by my side through this incredible journey for over ten years, and having him not just play bass but also mix and produce this particular song makes it even more meaningful. His friendship and musical partnership have been invaluable gifts in my life.”

For Citowicz, having Szymanski’s involvement extends far beyond the technical aspects. “Patryk understands my musical vision like no one else,” Citowicz explains. “When I told him about this song, about what it means to me as a future father, he immediately knew how to help me capture that emotion. That’s the beauty of a friendship that spans over a decade – he doesn’t just play or produce, he helps me tell my story.”

The acclaimed guitarist, known for his distinctive style and emotional depth, admits to feeling both humbled and excited about this new chapter. “You know, I never imagined I’d be writing lullabies disguised as rock ballads,” he laughs. “But here I am, a soon-to-be dad, pouring my heart into music that I hope will mean something to my son someday. Life has a funny way of surprising you with the most beautiful gifts.”

“The World I’ll Hold For You” is currently available as

The single serves as both a preview and special invitation to fans for the upcoming exclusive EP, which will be released soon, followed by the highly anticipated full album “Living Room Rockstar Part 2.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for this moment in my life,” Citowicz concludes. “To be able to create music that comes from such a pure place, to have friends like Patryk who support the journey, and to be preparing to welcome my son into the world – I feel blessed beyond measure. This song is my promise to him, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”

Looking ahead to “Living Room Rockstar Part 2,” Citowicz hints at the deeply personal nature of the upcoming collection. “This album represents a new chapter – becoming a father, reflecting on life, and finding beauty in the intimate moments. The special EP coming soon will give listeners a taste of what’s to come, but ‘The World I’ll Hold For You’ really sets the emotional tone for everything that follows. It’s going to be a journey of the heart, and I’m excited to share it with everyone who has supported my music over the years.”
