After the end of Perfect, he continued his solo career by creating a music project Darek Kozakiewicz Live. In 2021, he released a compilation album “Crocodile”where he summarized 50 years of his creative work.
– I think that after 40 years of being such a mainstay of rock and roll in Poland, Markowski’s decision was a bit premature. Several generations of Poles have grown up with this music, so I’m just sad that we won’t play anymore. I don’t think we should stop playing completely. We could easily give fewer concerts, but perform for more people, on a good stage, somewhere in a hall or even in stadiums – said Dariusz Kozakiewicz in an interview with Interia at the end of 2022.
“Let’s keep playing, let the magic happen” – we read on Perfect Gold’s profile.
