Alicja Maria Szemplińska (pronounced [aˈlit͡s.ja ʂɛmˈplij̃.ska]; born 29 April 2002), known mononymously as Alicja, is a Polish singer. She was set to represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with the song "Empires" before the event was cancelled, and will represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with "Pray".

Career

She won season 10 of The Voice of Poland in 2019. The following year, she won Poland's national Eurovision selection competition Szansa na sukces with her song "Empires", which she would have performed at the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020[1] in Rotterdam on 14 May 2020. On 18 March 2020, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Alicja expressed her desire to represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, she was ultimately not chosen to represent Poland again and Rafał Brzozowski was chosen instead.[2] In early 2023, she returned to Poland's national final for the first time since her 2020 win, with her newly released song "New Home", a song she wrote herself along with Farrah Guenena and Chloe Martini. The song placed 6th in the final with a total of 10 points. She was later chosen to represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, after once again winning Poland's national final with the song "Pray".
