Alexandra Căpitănescu // @alexandra.capitanescu

Alexandra Căpitănescu is a Romanian singer and songwriter who rose to prominence after winning the 11th season of Vocea României (The Voice of Romania) in 2023. Signed with Universal Music Romania, she released her debut EP, “Căpitanu’”, in April 2024, showcasing her unique voice and evolving sound, which leans towards pop-rock and soft rock, while also incorporating heavier rock elements.

Her latest significant endeavour is representing Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with her song “Choke Me”, where she will perform in the second semi-final on 14 May 2026. The song, described as a powerful rock piece with opera influences, has garnered considerable attention, including discussions around its title, which Căpitănescu has clarified as a metaphor for overcoming negative thoughts and embracing love.

She has been actively promoting her Eurovision entry, participating in various pre-party events including the Nordic Eurovision Party in Oslo, and is also scheduled to perform at the London Eurovision Party and Eurovision in Concert. As of 27 March 2026, “Choke Me” has accumulated 1 million streams on Spotify. Beyond Eurovision, Căpitănescu continues to focus on developing her live project with her band and writing new material, balancing her music career with her studies in Physics.
