The name of the group originates from the Latin word "quidam" meaning "someone, some human being" and refers to the poem "Quidam" by Cyprian Kamil Norwid, perhaps the most intriguing of Polish romantic poets. The title hero of that poem is a man looking for his place in life, searching for goodness and truth.
The band was founded in 1991 when Maciek Meller, Radek Scholl and Rafał 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 Smarzyńska. 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.
