    A few words about Lena Marzec

    The singer gained popularity thanks to participation in the second edition of "The Voice Kids". She appeared in the third episode (January 5, 2019) singing "Nobody's Perfect" during the blind audition. She made all the jurors turn around, and she chose the team of Tomson and Baron. Although she reached the final she faced Viki Gabor , who was also a contestant. The coaches decided to advance Viki to the 2nd round of the final eliminating Lena. 

    It is worth adding that apart from covers (by artists such as INXS, Lady Gaga, Kasia Kowalska or Billie Eilish), Lena also has an original song entitled "The First", for which she herself wrote music and words.
