His adventure with hip-hop began in the early 90's thanks to his brother, who was engaged in promoting this culture in their hometown Rybnik. He started to create his own music at the turn of 1997-1998 in Po 3-na Różnica. In 2001 GrubSon begins to promote music events, and soon after a new project Wolność słowa was born. However, after the first home recorded demo they split up. 2003 sees GrubSon releasing "N.O.C." (Nowiny Osiedle Chrabowa) – self produced set on the edge between rap and dancehall. Soon he teams up with Bezkres crew, starting Wspólny Mianownik Soundsystem with them, in order to dig deeper into reggae & dancehall. GrubSon also starts to build up rhythms for more and more artists. In 2005 he meets Metrowy and starts working on the next solo release. Unfortunately his short collaboration with Dreadsquad brings no release. Another important episode in his career is meeting DJ Feel-X and joining his record label Siła-Z-Pokoju. In 2007 winning a contest gives GrubSon an opportunity to record a song with Junior Stress "Siła z pokoju" for the third part of Magiera and L.A compilation "Kodex". In 2008 Feel-X’s label puts out a mixtape "Siła-Z-Pokoju MixTape Vol.1" with his participation. A year later GrubSon joins MaxFlo Records and releases his official debut album "O.R.S.". 2011 marks a double CD release "Coś więcej niż muzyka" ("Something more than music") that enjoys platinum status after less than half a year.
GrubSon turns out to be a real phenomenon in the Polish music scene. His distinctive style on the edge of hip-hop and reggae as well as positive lyrics meet great response. Grubson’s FB profile currently shows more than 700,000 fans. Last (May 2012) album "Gruby Brzuch" produced with DJ BRK only confirms his massive popularity and turns out to be the best-selling Polish release straight after release. In May 2013 GrubSon begins to perform with a full live band, with whom he will perform first time at Ostróda Reggae Festival - not coincidentally after the legendary U-Roy from Jamaica, considered a godfather of hip-hop.
