biography
In 1992 Grabowski began composing himself. In 1995 he founded his first band No Name , which broke up after a few months of rehearsal. On August 29, 1995, Paweł's first self-organized music event took place in the trendy club Dread Studio, where he played music from the jungle / drum and bass area . He is co-founder of the Thinkadelic formation, which recorded its first demo in 1996. The album, produced with Bartłomiej Serafiński and Paweł Serafiński, was released on an independent label and the songs from it were played on many local radio stations across Poland. In April 1997 he appeared in the context of "Rap Day '97" as a preliminary act in front of the cult band Run-DMC . In June, Spinache was invited by Michał Urbaniak to support his group Urbanator on the stage of the Great Theater in Łódź. In the same year he accompanied Krystyna Prońko on the recordings for her album "Złość" and the promo concerts for the record.
On February 20, 1998 Paweł signed a contract with the record company Pomaton EMI , which brought out the debut album "Lek" by Thinkadelic. The singles were "Wyżej i wyżej", "Zdobycz" and a self-interpretation of the timeless song by Krystyna Prońko "Jesteś lekiem na całe zło". Also involved in the album were Krystyna Prońko, Reni Jusis , Kaliber 44 and P'Am. Thinkadelic was the only hip-hop group to appear in Wojciech Mann and Krzysztof Materna's TV show “MDM” and the video for “Wyżej i wyżej” was the first Polish video clip that was broadcast on the (then only German-speaking) broadcaster VIVA was broadcast. In the same year Paweł became a student at the Faculty of Singing and Drama at the Music Academy in Łódź under Prof. Włodzimierz Zalewski. In March 1999 the album “Lek” was nominated for the Polish music award Fryderyk in the category “Album of the Year - Hip-Hop”. After the Thinkadelic debut album, Spinache began work on a new musical project. The first line-up as well as the name already existed in 1997, but it was not until 1999 that Spinache brought together some musicians from the Thinkadelic environment (including OSTR , Red, P'Am) and formed the group Obóz TA. In June 2000 Paweł signed a contract with the record company Camey Music, which released the band's debut album entitled "Obóz TA". Spinache invited hip-hop artists from Łódź , including Enter (NTK), Mejsal (NTK / DFA) and UpStars for the single “Dla publiki szerszej” to the recordings.

On September 16, 2000, Thinkadelic's second album “Obiecana ziemia” was released via Pomaton EMI . The singles from it were "Zarobię trochę / Ramię w ramię", "To jest dla Was" and the best known "Pokaż się". In March 2001 the album "Obiecana ziemia" was nominated for the Fryderyk in the category "Album of the Year - Hip-Hop".

He took part in indie and musical events such as the “Youth Rock Symphony Orchestra” concert in the Łódź Philharmonic or the multimedia projects in the Forum Fabricum. He directed the recording of the music by Piotr Grabowski for the original presentation of the play "Litania".
