No bo ty się boisz  myszy - CZERWONE GITARY -by Andy Orłowski

He was the first founding member of the band Czerwone Gitary, during 1965-1967. Following his departure from the band, he continued to remain active in Polish music and performed on stage until 1976 after which he would then spend 15 years as a music presenter. Upon the band’s reunion in 1991, he once again became its guitarist and singer. In 1993, he left the band once more due to a conflict with former band founder, Seweryn Krajewski. As of 1999, Jerzy Kossela is, for the third time, a member in the Czerwone Gitary band. His often goes by his on-stage nicknames, Ciamcialamcia or Juras.

He is the creator of many timeless hits, including: "Bo ty się boisz myszy" (music and lyrics), "Historia jednej znajomości", "Matura" (lyrics to the music of Krzysztof Klenczon). He is also co-author of the book Czerwone Gitary to właśnie my! (Czerwone Gitary, that’s us!) He is married to Jana (Janina) Karst.

In 2010 he received the Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis.

On the Czerwone Gitary's album Jeszcze raz (One More Time), which debuted March 14, 2015, the song "Kocham dwie dziewczyny" appeared, originally written in 1965.

From May 2015 he stopped performing in concerts with the band Czerwone Gitary, citing health reasons.
