Today we’d like to introduce you to Roxie Wegiel
Hi Roxie, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My musical journey began completely by accident. When I was 8 years old, I went to a karaoke night with my friends during a judo camp. After my performance, people started coming up to congratulate me, which inspired me to take vocal lessons and sparked my love for music. In the following years, I started participating in vocal competitions, and at the age of 12, I auditioned for the first edition of The Voice Kids in Poland — which I ended up winning.
Winning the show earned me a contract with a major label and the opportunity to represent Poland in Junior Eurovision. At 13, I became the first Polish artist in history to win Junior Eurovision. This victory brought me recognition in Poland and across Europe, opening many doors for me. Afterward, I released singles that topped the charts and received multi-platinum certifications, and multiple tours around Poland.
Everything started progressing very quickly: I received awards from MTV EMA, Nickelodeon, and many more. And that brings us to where we are now — with expansion becoming the top priority. The time has come to try my strength internationally and take my music to audiences around the world.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
This path has definitely been the fulfillment of my dreams, but stepping into the entertainment industry at such a young age isn’t always easy. You have to grow up very quickly and understand that not everything that glitters is gold, and not everyone has your best interests at heart.
Balancing my career with personal life was challenging, and there were moments of self-doubt, especially in such a competitive and demanding industry. Transitioning from a child artist to a more mature performer also came with its own set of struggles, as I had to navigate finding my artistic identity while meeting external expectations. Despite these obstacles, my passion for music has always been my guiding light, pushing me to keep evolving and moving forward.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My workdays are incredibly varied and depend on the season. Sometimes I spend entire days in the studio, while other times I travel regularly to London for vocal training with my coach. During touring seasons, I play concerts, do brand campaigns, give interviews, perform on TV shows, and attend regular dance classes. In my free time, I like to work out at the gym with my husband, and we try to spend as much time together as possible. As you can see, my daily life is packed with activities, and no two days are ever the same.
I am most proud of winning Junior Eurovision — it was the fulfillment of one of my lifelong dreams. I’m also proud that I never gave up, even in the face of adversity. But honestly, I’m simply proud of what I create: my music and my family.
What sets me apart? I believe it’s my voice — its power, my determination, and my persistence. When I set my mind to something, I’ll make it happen, no matter what obstacles arise. If things start to fall apart, I’ll find a way to put them back together.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Remember: you do you. Never lose your passion, and be ready to put in a lot of hard work and determination. Learn to take constructive criticism, but ignore the naysayers. Don’t let anyone box you into a certain category — there are no rules in music, and labels only limit creativity. Stay true to yourself, and trust that your unique voice and vision will find their audience.
