Who is Maja Krzyżewska?
Maja Krzyżewska–or “Maja from the end of the world”, as she calls herself–first appeared in the public eye through her participation on Poland’s edition of The Voice Kids. While there, she was coached by Cleo, former Polish Eurovision representative in 2014. Aside from singing, Maja enjoys performing aerial silks.
Her nickname “Maja from the end of the world” refers to her tiny village of Szeszupka, Poland, a town with fewer permanent residents than there are Junior Eurovision participants.
Poland’s Junior Eurovision journey
Poland was one of the countries that participated in 2003’s inaugural edition of the competition, where they were represented by Katarzyna Żurawik with the song “Coś mnie nosi” and placed 16th. Poland participated for another year before going on a 12-year break and returning in 2016. Since returning to the competition, they have participated five times, and achieved back-to-back wins in 2018 and 2019.
Their recent participation in 2022 saw them represented by Laura with the song “To The Moon”. Laura placed 10th overall, receiving 96 points from the jury and online vote combined.
