Her victory was followed by the release of her debut single, "Moja Intymnosc."

Her 1996 single "Sama" whet audience appetites for her debut record, Dziewczyna Szamana (Shaman's Girl). Her follow-up release, Naga (Naked), emerged only a year later in 1997. Steczkowska made her debut as an actress in 1999 in the film Na Koniec Swiata (At the End of the World), followed by the movie's original soundtrack. As her discography grew over the course of the next feat years, including the Christmas album Koledy I Pastoralki (2000), Moja Intynmosc (2003), and the hugely popular Femme Fatale (2004), so did her popularity. Justyna Steczkowska has earned a reputation as a Polish sex symbol, leading songwriter, and media personality. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
