With jet set

In 2005 she became the singer of the Polish band The Jet Set . Together with the band, she entered the Polish final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the title How Many People and took third place. After a tour with Belgian singer Danzel , the band released their debut album Just Call Me in July 2006 , which reached number 30 on the Polish album charts and was later awarded a gold record .

In 2007 the band won the Polish final and represented Poland with Time to Party at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki . In the end they reached place 14 in the semifinals and thus missed the final round. On January 1, 2009, they finally announced their dissolution.

Her solo debut was finally the title To nic kiedy płyną łzy . Her first solo album Sasha was finally released in September 2009 and was a great success.

In 2011 she terminated her contract with Sony Music and began working as an independent artist.

Her first solo single as an independent artist was released under the title Game Over in September 2011. 2013 she appeared in the opening act for Zaz .

Her EP Stranger was released on October 29, 2013 . In December of the same year she recorded the Christmas single Magia Świąt as part of the reALICJA project , the proceeds of which went to the Polish singer Alicja Borkowska , who had a stroke a month earlier .

In 2014 she tried to participate in SuperDebiuty as part of the 51st Polish Song Festival in Opole , but was disqualified for recording more than one album in her career. In November she performed at a concert in honor of the employers' association Pracodawcy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej .
