Career

After steady recording and touring, Linkytė won Lithuania’s Pabandom iš naujo! selection in 2023 with the song “Stay” and represented Lithuania again at Eurovision 2023 (the entry drew attention for its melodic, partly folk-rooted sound).

Across the 2010s and early 2020s she released multiple albums, EPs and singles, toured nationally and regularly performed at Lithuanian festivals and concerts.
