Career
Kupriyanovich began her career as a child singer in 2013, competing in New Wave Junior 2013 and 2014 Junior Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk.[1]
Kupriyanovich competed in the Belarusian national final for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice; she placed fourth in 2015 with the song "Mir" and third in 2016 with the song "Kosmos".[2][3] In 2017, she placed third in the tenth season of Fabrika Zvyozd, the Russian version of Operación Triunfo. Afterwards, Kupriyanovich began a career in television presenting, and co-hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Minsk alongside Evgeny Perlin and Helena Meraai. As an actress, she has voiced the Russian dub of the character Moana in the films Moana and Ralph Breaks the Internet.[4]
She represented Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Like It". She qualified to the final, where she scored 31 points, finishing 24th out of 26 countries.[5][6][7] Due to the cancellation of the 2020 contest,[8] Belarus' disqualification from the 2021 contest,[9] and BTRC's subsequent suspension from the EBU,[10] Kupriyanovich indefinitely remains the last Belarusian representative at the Eurovision Song Contest (the last Belarusian at any Eurovision event was Arina Pehtereva in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020).
