In 2013, at the age of eighteen, Nykiel began taking part in the second season of The Voice of Poland. She was a member of Team Patrycja Markowska. Nykiel went on to finish in fourth place, and was later signed to Universal Music Polska.[2] In 2014, she released her debut single "Wilk" (Wolf), which had little chart success.
