Mini bio
How it started.
Alicja grew up in Ciechanów and trained in piano at music school. In 2016, at 14, she won TVP’s Hit Hit Hurra! after singing Beyoncé’s “Listen” in the final. Her prize included vocal workshops with Seth Riggs in Los Angeles.
Finding a wider audience.
She won the tenth season of The Voice of Poland in 2019, coached by Tomson and Baron. Her early single “Prawie my” was part of that final. In February 2020 she won Szansa na sukces with “Empires,” securing Poland’s Eurovision place, but the pandemic cancelled that year’s contest.
Her own songs.
Her debut album nie wracam arrived on 28 June 2024, built around personal stories and R&B and soul. Collaborators included Chloe Martini, Duit, Bartek Królik and Marek Piotrowski. Królik also appeared on the single “pamiętasz?”.
A return to Eurovision.
In 2026, “Pray” brought her back as Poland’s Eurovision representative. She finished 12th in Vienna, then released “She’s Back” in November. In a November radio interview, she spoke about writing in English and working with producers Paul Visser, Cameron Warren and Veira.
