The band was founded in 1991 when Maciek Meller, Radek Scholl and Rafa? Jermakow met and decided to play together. Soon they were joined by Zbyszek Florek. They played as DEEP RIVER then (they changed their name to Quidam only in 1995) and offered a mixture of hard rock and blues.
The band had a number of singers of whom Waldemar Ciechanowski stayed in the line up for some time. The change in the musical direction was evident when the band was joined by the flutist Ewa Smarzy?ska. Both the style of their compositions and the sound began to change, evolving into a more refined form of rock. The songs, full of long instrumental parts and musical poetry were now directed towards more sensitive and demanding listeners. Listeners who love moods created once by Camel, King Crimson (in their early phase), Genesis, Pink Floyd, Renaissance and many others. From the very beginning Quidam members set for themselves a very ambitious task to reach with their difficult music the biggest audience and find acclaim with the critics.
The fact that they were noticed by both was proved by the awards at several music festivals and polls. Among them the most prominent ones are: Grand Prix of Gitariada Festival (twice, in 1993 and 1994) and the award for singer Emila Derkowska granted by the jury of this festival (including Wojciech Waglewski and Leszek Biolik - Poland\'s famous rock stars) in 1993.
The fulfillment of their musical journey came in the form of their debut album entitled simply \"Quidam\", recorded between September 1995 and March 1996 (with the guest appearance of three Collage members: Wojtek Szadkowski, Mirek Gil and Krzysiek Palczewski). The album was very warmly received both by the critics and art-rock fans in Poland and abroad. The evidence came in the form of enthusiastic reviews in Polish professional rock magazines (\"Tylko Rock\", \"Machina\") and numerous fanzines both in Poland and abroad (British \"Wondrous Stories\" and \"Alternate View - The UK Progressive Music Webzine\" and Dutch \"Background\" magazine among others). The album reached high positions in foreign charts of best art-rock records of 1996 (No. 5 in the French \"Big Bang\"). The raving reviews can be also found on many Internet pages. .In the polls of \"Tylko Rock\" - the most important Polish rock music magazine - Quidam singer Emila Derkowska won the title of the \"Best New Talent of 1996\".
