Aleksandra Wielgomas, Luna’s real name, didn’t fit in well with the company her family had spent decades creating. Lights, not logistics, lined her future. That much was evident when she persistently asked—possibly insisted—to go to music school as a teenager. It wasn’t dramatic. It was guidance.
Andrzej Wielgomas, her father, left a heritage of preserves, sauces, and jars. His invention, Dawtona, became a staple in Polish homes, with its merchandise piled at chain stores ranging from Lidl to Göabka. The business became incredibly successful at remaining both relevant and identifiably Polish through smart scaling and constant branding.

Dawtona is more than just a company, with more than 1,200 workers and a worth close to PLN 900 million. It is an ecology. One in which brand currency is derived from family names. Nevertheless, Luna graciously left that track behind in favor of creating her own cadence, which pulsed more like synth than spreadsheets.
She started using music to support herself by the time she was seventeen. She made that public statement, but it was intended to be clarification rather than a boast. She didn’t rely on the wealth of her family. Rather, she relied on songs, ambiguity, and whatever she could find.
She characterizes Andrzej as a work-oriented father. not status. not a position. Simply put, work. She wasn’t blocked by him. He didn’t pave the road, though. Maybe she was able to explore without going too far because of that balance, which was both challenging and encouraging.
She intentionally keeps her family life quiet. No names are disclosed. The roles are subtle. Despite not being mentioned in the media, her mother is obviously present in the dynamic. In the meanwhile, the brothers continue to run Dawtona, with Piotr acting as vice president and other members sitting on the board. Luna watches from the bleachers, but it’s a shared legacy.
She talks about the corporation with a certain refined detachment. No resentment exists. Don’t be cocky. Just acknowledging that this was not her path, but theirs.
Even if she didn’t win, her performance at Eurovision 2024 wasn’t insignificant. She gave a daring performance of “The Tower” under sweeping lights in Malmö. Opinions from critics were divided. The audiences were divided. Nevertheless, she was standing in an area she had set off for herself. not passed down. Not talented. selected.
Her early withdrawal from the competition was regrettable but not totally unexpected, according to music critic Marek Sierocki. He claimed that voting trends frequently favor allies. He pointed out that Poland does not have those voting alliances. Although geopolitically sound, such argument merely highlighted the emotional contradiction of these competitions—art frequently lags behind strategy.
However, Luna wasn’t fixed on that outcome. She didn’t have to be either. Her creativity isn’t dependent on dazzling results. It exists in mood, emotion, and aesthetics. Her inclination toward abstraction and astrology reflects a deeper desire to explore rather than merely perform. Her choice of stage name, which was influenced by celestial rhythm, is not accidental. After all, the moon has a subdued power.
Dawtona, on the other hand, relies on visibility and volume. The brand has proven incredibly resilient in the Polish consumer market thanks to its marketing strategies that emphasize shelf domination and the massive sales of ketchup bottles. It is anchored, organized, and trustworthy.
Her path veers in the direction of something unexpected. She is especially resilient, though, because she was reared in a household that valued and practiced hard work. She is adept at making an appearance. Not only for photo shoots, but also for studio sessions, rehearsals, and any other endeavor that helps her hone her trade.
Knowing where you’re from gives you power, but deciding where to go gives you even more.
