Elżbieta Dmoch (born September 29, 1951) is a Polish singer and flautist, a member of the band 2 Plus 1.
At the end of the 1960s she became a member of Warszawskie Kuranty, a band founded by Janusz Kruk. In January 1971 both Janusz and Elżbieta formed a new group, 2 Plus 1, which enjoyed a massive popularity in Poland in the 1970s and the first half of the 1980s. In 1974 during Sopot Festival Dmoch was proclaimed the most beautiful singer. She received the same award at the Opole Festival two years later.
Elżbieta Dmoch is also the co-author of one song: in 1985 she composed the song "Naga plaża" for the 2 Plus 1 album Video.
For almost 20 years she has been the wife of Janusz Kruk, whom she met at the age of 17. They married in February 1973 and divorced in the late 1980s, after Janusz had left her for another woman.[1] His death in 1992 turned out to be a shock for Elżbieta, who gave up public and artistic life, and has since become reclusive.[2]
Her biggest passion has always been singing - she started to take part in singing lessons in her earliest years. She attended high school as well as musical school at the same time, where she learned to play flute and piano.[3]
She speaks three foreign languages: English, German and Russian.
