About Roksana Węgiel

Roksana Emilia Węgiel-Mglej (née Węgiel; Polish pronunciation: [rɔˈksana ˈvɛŋɡʲɛl]; born 11 January 2005), also known as Roxie, is a Polish singer. She rose to prominence after winning season one of the Polish version of The Voice Kids in 2018. She represented Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the song "Anyone I Want to Be", and went on to win the competition becoming the first Polish entrant to do so. Her eponymous debut studio album was released in 2019. She is the recipient of the 2019 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Polish Act. When Górniak first heard Węgiel's voice, she described her as "unreal" and stated that she did not believe even Beyoncé had such a strong voice at that age. The competition was held on 25 November 2018 in Minsk, Belarus, where Węgiel was eventually crowned the winner, placing first with the viewing public and seventh with the professional juries. Węgiel is the first Polish entrant to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
