As a member of Pavnivalkova

Solo career
As Kulshenka, Iryna experiments in many genres and does not limit herself to a particular sound, or even language, as she herself creates her arrangements and performs in the Ukrainian, English French and Spanish languages. She does not have a single producer, and produces, composes and arranges on her own.

Vybar Tvoj!
Kulshenka auditioned for the first ever national selection of Ciemra for the Serendipitous Song Contest together with Misha Propal, presenting their collaborative track "Voin" (Warrior). They made it through to the live final and performed seventh in the running order, following polnalyubvi and preceding Driada. Kulshenka is the track's sole live vocalist. They finished first, beating runner-up polnalyubvi, who at that point had already been selected to represent and could not represent Ciemra, by a margin of only two points.
