His family background includes Polish, Ukrainian, Armenian, Hungarian, and Austrian roots. He attended the V Liceum Ogólnokształcące im.

Around 1989–1990 he lived in the United Kingdom, working for several months as a laborer in Kingston upon Thames.

After TVP ended cooperation with him in 2017, he briefly worked with Food Network on the program "Makłowicz w drodze". In March 2020 he launched his own YouTube channel where he publishes culinary and historical videos. From 2020 to 2021 he hosted a music program ("Od Punk Rocka do Bartóka") on newonce.radio. He has also written books, including "Cafe Museum" (2010), which received the Srebrny Kałamarz literary award. In 2022 he became an ambassador for the “Wrocław Year of Good Relations” initiative addressing social isolation. In 2024 he joined the council of the Muzeum Historyczne Miasta Krakowa and recorded route announcements used in public transport vehicles in Kraków. Makłowicz has also been involved in business.
