Poli Genova

Poli Plamenova Genova (born February 10, 1987 in Sofia, Bulgaria) is a singer that represented her nation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Germany. Genova performed her entry "Na inat" (Out of Spite) in the second semifinal.

She's been singing since she was four. Whilst studying English, she met her singing teacher who taught her to sing. Her teacher insisted Poli had skills to become a singer. Poli was the first member to be admitted to the Children Vocal Group "Bon-Bon" founded in 1995. Shortly after, she became the first host of TV show "Bon-Bon", which became a media phenomenon. Her emblematic voice and charming smile are trademarks of "Bon-Bon". After years Poli is still in close relationship with "Bon-Bon". Her first vocal coach and producer Rozi Karaslavova has been taking care of her for 14 years and making the final touches of every tiny detail that is important for her success.

Poli graduated from The National Music School "Ljubomir Pipkov", focusing on clarinet. Now she is in her third year of study to become a film director. Even so, she continues her singing career and is involved in several projects. Genova is part of the UNICEF Charity Project "The Magnificent Six", stands as a vocalist for "Azis' Show" and "Dani Milev Band" in the first edition of the reality show "Dancing with the Stars: Bulgaria".

In 2005 and 2006 she took part in the National Selection of Eurovision Song Contest as a member of the trio "Melody".

In 2011 she represented Bulgaria alone, with her song "Na inat", but didn't qualify to the finals. Her debut album is also being prepared at the moment.

She is a judge on the Bulgarian version of The X Factor.
