I was amazed to learn she is self-taught.
Thank you for posting this, Doc... 
She's such a sweet young lady, every time I see her she warms up my heart. May the good forces of the universe watch over her.

The performance that blew everyone away some years ago:
I didn't know Kinga is self taught, but her father is a long time pro player and maybe there are other musical family members as well.
Growing up in a musical environment is a big plus. I wish I'd had that opportunity as I'm sure many others do.
Not just knowledge of music but understanding and believing in the value of it.
It's harder to grow musicianship in a non-supportive environment.
But Kinga is talented and I think she would have flourished regardless of circumstances.
Her stagecraft and showmanship have made great strides. She's a pro who knows how to deliver a noteworthy live listening experience.

I am thinking she is self taught on bass, but she grew up learning other instruments and how music works, like Marcus Miller.
"The very beginning of her career was at the tender age of 12. She joined her family band, Głyk P.I.K trio, where she gained invaluable experience in performing at a young age. In 2015, at the age of 18, she released her debut album, "Rejestracja," which received positive reviews from Polish radio station Trójka and magazines like "Jazz Forum" and "Your Blues." She was recognized as JAZZ TOP and BLUES TOP in an annual survey she has been nominated in various categories, including NEW HOPE, BASS GUITAR, and DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR. Following her debut album, she recorded a captivating live concert titled "Happy Birthday” which led to a beautiful musical adventure."

Her brother on the drums, Dad plays the vibraphone.
That's great, I hadn't ever checked out Kinga's site or her bio.
A rich musical background and she's doing it proud.

This is the first time I've seen her playing leftie. Every other time I've seen her play - right. So I'm guessing right handed.
Don’t you know about how the image gets flipped when you take self videos on your cellphone?
Loved the sound of that EB3 at 2:25.
I just looked again and she says it an EB3, but it says Greco on the headstock, so I guess it's a copy. Sounds great!

Amazing and self taught!, I never got half way there as good being self taught myself....
When everyone in your family is a player, and especially one of them pro, you're never self taught.
They are all teaching you how music goes and is played, none of them had to have a bass on their hands... their vocabulary, rhythm, feel and phrasing is all being conveyed onto you.
