ALINA PASH RELEASES NEW SINGLE
& MUSIC VIDEO “BAD WITCH”
Ukrainian born and Los Angeles based singer, rapper, and songwriter Alina Pash has released her latest single and music video, “Bad Witch.” Inspired by the witchcraft-centered 2000s TV series Charmed, which was translated in Ukraine to All Women Are Witches, the track celebrates the diverse sides of women and encourages them to be themselves. While historically women were once feared as witches, today the word carries a message of fostering personal and universal growth, a badge Alina wears proudly. The accompanying video finds Alina summoning a modern day coven of it girls. Driven by an insatiable appetite, she awakens the group’s powers as they refuel their broomsticks, steal hearts, and prepare to paint the town blood red.

“‘Bad Witch’ is my personal feminist celebration. It’s my therapy, and as you can see and hear, it’s wildly entertaining,” shares Alina. She continues, “For too long, I locked away my true self, believing I had to be perfect, always the ‘good girl.’ But with ‘Bad Witch,’ I’m unleashing my beast, giving myself — and anyone else who resonates with it — the freedom to embrace every aspect of who we are, even the parts hidden in the darkest corners. Let’s celebrate our authentic and full selves, in all their forms.”
Alina Pash is a genre-bending artist who has established herself as one of the most active Ukrainian musical voices in Europe. Since participating and placing third in the Ukrainian edition of The X Factor in 2016, she has utilized her platform to not only share her multifaceted talent and style, but also provide a voice for the voiceless. “Bad Witch” offers the first taste of what’s to come later this year from Alina.

With over 28 million global streams, Alina Pash has been recognized as Ukraine's rap diva, starting a new trend of incorporating elements of forgotten ethnic culture into modern music. Her debut album featured hit songs “Bosorkanya” and “Bitanga” which received praise from Ukrainian media and marked a turning point in her life as a creative. In 2019, she was recognized for being a young opinion leader, named one of Forbes Ukraine’s “30 to 30,” and performed a rap variation of the national anthem of Ukraine on the country’s Independence Day in front of President Volodymyr Zelensky and thousands of others. In 2022, Alina won the national selection to represent her country in Eurovision with her track “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.” However, she withdrew from the competition due to a political issue stemming from a previous trip when she crossed the border to Crimea, which was considered prohibited at the time. Continuing to bring her vibrant and engaging stage presence to fans around the world, Alina has performed at Burning Man, Lollapalooza Berlin, Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, Orange Festival in Poland, and more.
As a fashion icon, Alina previously won ELLE Ukraine’s Style Award (2019) and was named one of the most stylish and successful Ukrainian women.

After the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Alina began channeling the pain of the conflict into a force for the nation’s strength through her music. Her single “Heaven” was written for those whose lives were lost during the war, capturing the profound sorrow and transforming it into a poignant tribute. She’s continued to participate in public activities and charity concerts both in Ukraine and Europe including Sziget, one of the largest European festivals where she gave a political audio-visual performance focused around the war. Now living in Los Angeles, Alina aims to bring her story and culture to life through her music, embodying the juxtaposition of joy and struggle.
