Over the past decades, she has been recognized at vocal competitions across Europe, including in Finland, Poland, Germany, and Turkey, and was honored at the Danish Music Awards in 2022.

For the last 15 years, Ania has been an active part of the Danish and international music scene, collaborating with a wide range of artists and ensembles such as Marilyn Mazur’s NOW!, Tone of Voice Orchestra, and the vocal ensemble GLAS. Her work moves fluidly between experimental music, improvisation, and interdisciplinary performance, with the voice at the center of her artistic exploration.

Ania has released four experimental albums that treat the voice as an instrument in its own right. Her debut album Synesthesia (2014), created with the trio Sphere, introduced her original compositions. Since 2015, she has been deeply engaged in researching voice and movement improvisation, leading to the creation of Havet (2017) with Lo Ersare, and Voice’n’Drums (2018), a raw and exploratory collaboration with drummer Stefan Pasborg. Her latest release Medicine (2026) recorded with her father Tomasz Rybacki, is a deeply personal, improvised journey through connection, healing, and the dissolving of self into something greater and collective.

Her work has been praised for its emotional depth, sensuality, and creative range, positioning her as a distinctive voice in contemporary vocal art. Blending mysticism with technical freedom, Ania continues to expand the boundaries of what the human voice can express.
