Early life and education edit
Rani was born in Gdańsk. She studied music at the Feliks Nowowiejski Music School in Gdańsk and the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw.[2][3]
Career edit
Trained as a classical pianist, Rani began incorporating jazz into her work during music school.[4] In 2015, she collaborated with Dobrawa Czocher on the album Biala Flaga, featuring their arrangements of music by Grzegorz Ciechowski. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rani started experimenting with improvisation and composing.[5] She has blurred traditional distinctions between jazz, classical, and house music.[6]
