After winning “The Voice,” she was dubbed the “Polish Janis Joplin.” What’s up with her these days?

Natalia Sikora was a true revelation in the 2nd edition of “The Voice of Poland”. Her phenomenal performance of Janis Joplin’s iconic song delighted both the judges and the viewers, and led her straight to the grand finale. What happened to the winner of the program and what is she doing now?

Natalia Sikora was a teenager when she first appeared on the stage of the Youth Culture Center in Słupsk. She later performed at the local Rondo and Magmen Theaters, while also presenting her skills to a wider audience at numerous competitions and festivals. After completing compulsory education, she began studies at the Warsaw Theater School, which she successfully graduated from in 2010, although she began her professional career much earlier.

Already in her third year of studies, she began to timidly try her hand at music, starting a collaboration with pianist and composer Piotr Proniuk. The result was their blues project “Sikora Proniuk Duo”, and then the album “Absurdustra–Próba Norwida” released in 2011. In the meantime, Sikora joined the symphonic metal band At the Lake and also got involved with the group Mięśnie.

The turning point in her career was undoubtedly her participation in the 2nd edition. During the blind auditions, she performed a cover of the song “Cry Baby” from Janis Joplin’s repertoire, stunning both the viewers and the judges. – I’m simply speechless. It’s great that you’re in this program. We’re very lucky that we could meet you, really – said Patrycja Markowska, not hiding her emotions.

The other coaches, including , were of a similar opinion. “You don’t need anything at all, because you just sing,” the diva claimed. However, she felt closest to creativity, and it was under his guidance that she decided to continue her adventure with the program. This turned out to be a bull’s eye, because a few episodes later she became the winner of the show.

This woman has too much talent to remain on this planet.

One of my favorite auditions in the whole world.

She is awesome.

Not just music. Natalia Sikora is also a renowned film and theatre actress. What roles does she have under her belt?

Although 11 years have passed since Sikora’s appearance on the show, the artist is still very active in the industry, avoiding publicity and media attention. In 2013, she made her debut on the phonographic market with a solo album “Zanim”, and then caused a sensation with her performance at the 50th , which earned her an award in the “Super Debuts” competition. In the following years, she released several more albums, including “Burried Alive in the Blues” with the band Voo Doo Dog and “Tribute To”. – Such tributes are simply very valuable materials, created by brave people, and let them be an example, first of all for the recipients, but also for artists, that if we are having fun with art, let’s do it seriously, and not because of some calculation. The world is very commercial, so I will always live on the contrary – she explained in one of her interviews.

She also found fulfillment on the stage, playing in various performances. At one time, she even played her idol in a play by the Capitol Theatre in Wrocław dedicated to her work. In addition, she has dubbed cartoons and animations, as well as roles in film and television productions such as “Bodo”, “Kler”, “Skazana” and “M jak miłość”.
