Chalupski balances his musical career by blending live performances, featuring songs from his solo albums, with dedicated studio work and collaborations with directors, choreographers and visual artists.

While his work takes the center stage of Chalupski’s live performances, he also actively participates in various bands and musical projects. He was part of the acoustic band of Kalle and currently plays with established band teepee and an ensemble that accompany Emma Smetana and Jordan Haj.
