Justyna Maria Steczkowska (Polish pronunciation: [juˈstɨna stɛt͡ʂˈkɔfska]; born 2 August 1972) is a Polish singer, songwriter, photographer, and actress. She represented Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Sama", finishing in 18th place, and is set to represent the country again in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Gaja".[2]

Biography

[edit]

She was born in Rzeszów, in the Subcarpathian region of southeastern Poland. She is the fourth of nine children of Danuta and Stanisław Steczkowski, a music teacher and conductor.

When she was five years old, she moved with her family to Stalowa Wola, where she attended the Ignacy Jan Paderewski State Music School. In 1991, she graduated from a music high school belonging to the Music School Complex No. 1 in Rzeszów. She played violin in a family band and was a singer in rock and jazz bands before embarking on a solo career.

Steczkowska came to prominence in 1994 when she won the television talent show A Chance for Success with her performance of Maanam's song "Buenos Aires".[3] The same year, she received the "Karolinka" award at the 31st National Festival of Polish Song in Opole.[4] In 1995, she won the final of the Baltic Countries Song Festival and represented Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Sama" ("Alone"), finishing in 18th place.[5]

As of 2025, she has released 18 studio albums, including 15 solo albums: Dziewczyna Szamana [pl] (1996), Naga [pl] (1997), Dzień i Noc [pl] (2000), Alkimja [pl] (2002), Femme Fatale [pl] (2004), Daj mi chwilę [pl] (2007), Puchowe kołysanki [pl] (2008), To mój czas [pl] (2009), XV  [pl] (2012), Puchowe kołysanki 2 [pl] (2013), Anima  [pl] (2014), Maria Magdalena. All Is One  [pl] (2019), Szamanka [pl] (2022), Steczkowska Demarczyk (2023) and Witch Tarohoro [pl] (2024) as well as three collaborative albums: Mów do mnie jeszcze [pl] (2001) with Paweł Deląg, Mezalianse [pl] (2011) with Maciej Maleńczuk and I na co mi to było? [pl] (2015) with Boban Marković. She also composed and recorded the soundtrack for the film Na koniec świata [pl] (1999). Her biggest hits include "Dziewczyna Szamana [pl]", "Grawitacja [pl]", "Oko za oko, słowo za słowo [pl]", and "Za karę [pl]".

In 2024, she finished second in Poland's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Witch Tarohoro [pl]".[6] The following year, she won the national final of Poland's national preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 and is set to represent Poland again after three decades with the song "Gaja".[7] Steczkowska's gap of 30 years between her two participations breaks the previous record of 24 years set by Anna Vissi between her entries for Cyprus in 1982 and Greece in 2006.[8]

Steczkowska is regarded for her four-octave vocal range.[9] She has won numerous music awards, including six Fryderyk awards, two Wiktor awards, a Superjedynka and a Bursztynowy Słowik. She has also been honored with the Bronze Gloria Artis Medal for Merit to Culture, and has been ranked among Forbes Poland's most valuable stars of Polish show business numerous times.

Apart from her music endeavours, she has starred in the films Billboard and Na koniec świata ("To the End of the World"). She was also a runner-up in season six of the Polish version of Dancing with the Stars in 2007, co-hosted the Polish version of Dancing on Ice in 2008, was a coach on The Voice of Poland in seasons 2, 4–5, and 12–14, with two of her contestants winning the competition,[10][11][12] and has served as a judge on the Polish version of Your Face Sounds Familiar since 2024.[13] She has appeared in several advertising campaigns, and designed her own clothing collection for girls. She is actively involved in charity work.
