Alina Ivanivna Pash ( Ukrainian: Аліна Іванівна Паш, pronounced [ɐˈl⁽ʲ⁾inɐ iˈwɑn⁽ʲ⁾iu̯nɐ ˈpɑʃ]; born 6 May 1993) is a Ukrainian singer and rapper. In 2016, she participated in the sixth season of the Ukrainian edition of The X Factor, placing 3rd. She also participated in Ukrainian national selection for Eurovision 2022 and won the selection beating eventual Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra. ^{[1] [2]}

Vidbir 2022 and subsequent withdrawal

Pash entered Vidbir 2022 with the song " Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors". She won the competition, thus gaining the right to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. ^[3] However, after the competition, the Ukrainian broadcaster UA:PBC began investigating a trip Pash had taken to Crimea in 2015, under the suspicion that Pash had broken the law by not travelling there through Ukraine. In a statement, UA:PBC said "the artist's representative falsified a certificate provided to UA:PBC. The artist agreed with this decision of the organizing committee." ^[4] Following this investigation, it was decided via a mutual agreement between the broadcaster, Vidbir's organising committee and Pash that her participation in the contest would not go ahead. ^[5] Kalush Orchestra, who placed second in Vidbir 2022, were later selected to represent Ukraine at Eurovision with the song " Stefania". ^[6]
