Sometimes, a song choice says more than words ever could. When Evgeny Klebanov, a singer from Belarus, stepped onto the stage of The Voice of Ukraine (Голос країни) Season 6 and sang Queen’s iconic “I Want to Break Free,” it was more than just a performance — it was a moment.

His voice, filled with both confidence and soul, immediately caught the attention of the coaches and the audience. There was something powerful and honest in the way he delivered that anthem of freedom and self-expression. It wasn’t overperformed or forced — it felt real.

Evgeny’s blind audition impressed Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, one of Ukraine’s most beloved rock musicians and a coach on the show. Vakarchuk turned his chair and welcomed Evgeny to his team — a big step forward in the competition and a sign of true respect from a musical giant.

Later, Evgeny took part in the battle rounds, going head-to-head with another contestant, Nikolay Bobrik, as they performed “I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith. It was another emotional moment that showed Evgeny’s ability to convey deep feeling through his music.

Though he didn’t go on to win the season, Evgeny Klebanov left a strong impression on both the coaches and the viewers. His performances carried a quiet strength, and his presence on the show proved that true talent doesn’t always need to shout — sometimes, it simply sings.

Since the show, public information about Evgeny’s life and career has been limited. But for those who saw him perform, his voice and message still resonate. He reminded many people that music is not about fame — it’s about connection, honesty, and heart.
