The recent silver winner reveals that the band project is running a deficit internationally. Next autumn, she will start a solo career.

Alexandra Rotan had surgery to remove a small part of her cervix out of fear of developing cancer when she was diagnosed with a serious change of cells.

For the past four Saturdays, Alexandra has knocked us over with her fullhearted energetic performances in the Norwegian TV battle show, “Battle of the Stars” (Stjernekamp).
With the first category being POP, she started out with her KEiiNOfied version of Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”, which she afterwards released as a solo single through all streaming and music-shopping platforms online. A fantastic performance where we had the pleasure of hearing her hit the high notes with her ever so strong and beautiful voice.
