Alyona Lanskava is a Belarusian singer who began her career in 2005 by participating in a music festival and continuing to do so over the next few years. To date she has released three studio albums and several singles.
She first attempted to represent her home country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku and won the right to do so until an investigation was conducted about a possible cheating scandal, which proved to be true. She was forced to withdraw and the band Litesound, who had finished as runner-up, took her place.
Returning a year later in Malmö with the song "Solayoh", she successfully qualified from the first semi-final and finished in 16th place with 48 points.
