History
The musicians began their creative path as a street band in their hometown of Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast. After moving to Kyiv, Rohovyi and Stepanishchev continued to create music together and finally formed their own musical style.
Molodi released their first single "Nezalezhnist" with singers Ostrovskyi and Kelsy in 2022. Shortly later, after Russia occupied Mariupol, the band members wrote the song "Bil".[2] The band kept releasing successful songs such as "Dim", "Ne zabudu", "Zhyvu napolovynu", and "Skarb" which they released with singer Michelle Andrade.[3]
On 20 December 2024, it was revealed that Molodi would participate in Vidbir 2025, the Ukrainian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "My Sea".[4] The song was released on 23 January 2025.[5] In the final on 8 February 2025, Molodi finished in second place with 16 points. On 3 December 2025, UA:PBC announced that Molodi will return to the contest in 2026.[6]
