Peter Jeremy Fijalkowski[1] (born 11 December 1968 in Surrey[2]) is an English vocalist, guitarist and songwriter formerly with the bands Adorable and Polak,[3] and currently plays with Terry Bickers of the House of Love in the duo Pete Fij / Terry Bickers. Polak also featured his brother, Krzyz Fijalkowski (born Christopher Martin Fijalkowski 1962 in Surrey),[4] formerly of The Bardots.

He has used variants of his name in the different projects he has worked on – using the Polish spelling of his birth name Peter, Piotr Fijalkowski in Adorable and the shortened Pete Fij for his work with Terry Bickers.

A film studies graduate at Warwick University,[5] Fijalkowski is the director of the 'On Location Film Festival' in Worthing, which shows films in site-specific locations relevant to the film.[6] He is also the director of Pete Fij / Terry Bickers' videos for "Out of Time",[7] "Downsizing"[8] and "Betty Ford".[9]

After a Kickstarter in late 2013[10] Fij and Terry Bickers released their debut album Broken Heart Surgery in July 2014.[11] Their second album, We Are Millionaires, was released in July 2017.
