Long gone are the days when she played the accordion in her province of Ternopil in western Ukraine.

Star in her country, very well known by the world of the night, Xenia UA has also set up her electronic music label.

But that was before the war.

The young woman left Ukraine, vinyl records under her arm.

Xenia UA had ignited the courtyard of the Élysée

His turntables have since thrilled the courtyard of the Élysée for the Fête de la Musique and made the presidential couple dance. 

We're off to a big techno party with Xenia in the Elysée.
