Nagrana przez zespół płyta “Introducing NSI” zebrała wiele bardzo pochlebnych ocen w gronach jazzowej krytyki w Polsce. Choć to właśnie NSI jest głównym i najważniejszym polem artystycznej aktywności Cypriana Baszyńskiego, nie stroni on od działania w innych muzycznych przedsięwzięciach. Współpracuje z teatrami - m.in. Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza w Zakopanem czy Juliusza Słowackiego w Krakowie.

Wykształcenie muzyczne zdobywał na Akademii Muzycznej w Gdańsku. Po pierwszym roku jego zainteresowania zwróciły się z stronę jazzu.

W 2016 roku otrzymał stypendium Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego. W tym samym roku został włączony w ramy zespołu FreeCooperation, prowadzonego przez Wojciecha Konikiewicza. 한국어로: “가장 어린 재즈 세대”로서 폴란드에서 가장 촉망 받고 있는(혹은 가장 흥미로운) 트럼펫 연주자이다. ‘NSI Quartet’의 멤버로서 제 36회 주니어 재즈 페스티벌에서 우승을 차지했다. 앨범 “Introducing NSI”는 폴란드 재즈 평론가들로부터 아주 긍정적인 평가를 이끌어내는 데에 성공했다. 현 그룹인 ‘NSI Quartet’이 Baszynski의 주 무대이긴 하지만, 다른 공연에 익숙하지 않은 것은 아니다. Baszyński는 이미 Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz나 Juliusz Słowacki와 같은 수많은 무대 경험이 있다. 또한 Marcin Pośpieszalski, Piotr Baron, Frank Parker, Joachim Mencl, Wojciech Groborz, Jan Plich, Pawel Kaczmarczyk 밴드의 악단원이기도 하다. 또한 유명한 빅 밴드인 “Zbigniew Namysłowski”의 멤버이다.
