orota Rabczewska, or more accurately Dorota Rabczewska-Majdan, nicknamed Doda or Doda Elektroda, (born February 15, 1984, in Ciechanów, Poland) is a famous Polish singer with one of the largest number of awards in Poland.
Biography
Doda was born to Wanda and Paweł Rabczewski. Her older brother, Rafał, is currently her manager.
In her youth she was coached in athletics for four years (long jump, 100 metres). She won the Championships at Voivodeship for 1000 and 600 metres and shot put. She also won bronze in the Polish Championships. She then quit sport for a musical career. Doda started this career as a teenager, at the Buffo Theatre in Warsaw. Simultaneously she was taking singing lessons from Elżbieta Zapendowska (one of the most famous teachers of singing in Poland). She earned popularity due to her participation in the reality show Bar.
In 2000, at the age of 16, Rabczewska became the vocalist of the Polish rock band Virgin. In December 2005 and October 2007, she posed nude for the Polish edition of Playboy Magazine. She also posed for CKM Magazine several times. This caused some controversy in Poland.
Rabczewska joined Mensa International in 2004, and she is reported to have an IQ of 156 on the Cattell scale, which has a standard deviation of 24.[1] This makes frequent comparisons to Albert Einstein[2][3] inapposite, given not only that Einstein never took an IQ test, but estimations of his IQ usually employ a scale with a standard deviation of 15 or 16, as is usual for IQ tests.[4][5] On the more familiar Stanford-Binet, Doda's IQ would be 137; on the WAIS, a 135.[6]
On March 5, 2005, Rabczewska married Polish goalkeeper Radosław Majdan, whom she later divorced. At the 2005 Sopot International Song Festival, Rabczewska won the Srebrny Słowik Music Award.
In 2006 she lent her voice to the dubbing for Asterix and the Vikings (as Abba).
Doda received a Superjedynka award on National Festival of Polish Song in Opole in 2006.
In 2007, she left Virgin to begin a solo career. Her first solo album released in 2007 was certified as gold on the day before its official release. In 2008 her album titled Diamond Bitch was certified a double platinum after 60,000 copies of the album had been sold.
Rabczewska takes part in a reality show Jazda z Dodą which is aired on TVN Turbo.
Doda won three awards at VIVA (Poland) Comet 2007 in the following categories: Female Artist of the Year, Image of the Year, Video of the Year (for Katharsis videoclip). At MTV Europe Music Awards 2007 Doda won in the category Best Polish Act. Doda also received a Superjedynka on 2008 National Festival of Polish Song in Opole as the Best Artist.
