Kasia Cerekwicka (born Katarzyna Cerekwicka March 17, 1980 in Koszalin, Poland) is a Polish pop singer. She had been singing since she was a little girl. In 1997 at the age of 17, she won the popular Polish show Szansa na sukces ("Chance for Success").

She has recorded two albums. The first was "Mozaika" from 2000. In 2007 Kasia admitted she doesn't like "Mozaika" and is not surprised that it wasn't popular in Poland. Her next album was "Feniks" ("Fenix"). Her song "Na kolana" ("On your Knees") became a hit of the year in Poland and some other parts of Europe. "Ostatnia Szansa" ("Last Chance") was her second single from "Feniks" reaching #1 on MTV Poland. She released "Potrafię kochać"("I can love") as her third single.

Kasia Cerekwicka's second album "Feniks" catapulted her career to superstar status. While her two big hits "Na Kolana" and "Potrafię kochać" were hummed throughout Poland, her studio album quickly achieved prestigious platinum status. She won the Superjedynka Award for the Record of The Year and 2006 Opole Festival and next won the Karslschamn Baltic States Festival 2006 award in Sweden on July 22 with her song "Na Kolana".

She took part in "Taniec z Gwiazdami" ("Dancing with the stars") on TVN, placing 4th place (episode 7) out of ten stars. Her latest single "S.O.S" gained popularity on all radio stations and was a candidate to represent Poland in the Sopot International Song Festival 2007 but did not win.

In October 2007 Cerekwicka released her new album "Pokój 203" ("Room 203"). The second single (after "S.O.S.") was a song called "Zostań" ("Stay").
