Kalush Orchestra was created in 2021 as a group of six musicians, as well as a side project of rap group Kalush, which was founded in 2019. The name comes from the city of Kalush – frontman Oleh Psiuk's hometown in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.[7]

In the final of the national selection Vidbir, they placed second with 14 points (six from the jury and eight from the audience).[8] Alina Pash received the highest score of the jury - 8 points. The audience rated her performance 7 points.
