Alexandra Căpitănescu is a young Romanian artist, best known for winning Season 11 of Vocea României in 2023.
Shortly after winning the show, Alexandra released her debut EP, titled “Căpitanu’,” featuring five tracks that further showcased her artistic identity.
Toward the end of 2024, Alexandra embarked on a tribute tour dedicated to Laura Stoica. During the same period, she released “Arde,” inspired by the legendary chorus of Stoica’s hit “Focul.”
At the beginning of 2025, Alexandra collaborated with the band VAMA on the single “Fluturi în stomac.” During 2025, she released several other songs such as “Stea cazatoare”, “Dilaila” or “Tare”.
She will represent Romania at Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with the song “Choke Me”, a metaphor for being overwhelmed by strong emotions and self-expectations. The song reflects a deeply personal struggle with inner fears and pressure — the sense of being “suffocated” by doubt, self-criticism, or the desire for growth and transformation.
