Who is Dominik Arim?
Dominik Arim is eleven and comes from Bobowo, in northern Poland; the region is known for its beautiful nature. He has appeared at music festivals and performances, performs for his mom, dad, and sister, and made his first televised appearance on The Voice Kids Poland. He currently studies the trumpet at Witold Lutosławski Music School and also enjoys playing the piano and dancing, but singing remains his greatest passion. Outside of school, Dominik keeps active, enjoying football, bike riding, and karate.
Dominik Arim won Szansa na Sukces: Eurowizja Junior in late September, triumphing over four other singers. Over the course of the show, he covered two iconic Eurovision winners: “Waterloo” and “Satellite”. His song, “All Together”, was written and selected for Poland before the artist selection, and is about the power of youth to change the world.
