Alisa Alekseyevna Kozhikina (Russian: Алиса Алексеевна Кожикина, born 22 June 2003) is a Russian child singer, who in 2014 won the first season of TV singing contest The Voice Kids Russia. Later that year she represented Russia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Malta with her song "Dreamer."
Alisa Kozhikina was born on 22 June 2003 in Uspenka, a rural village in Kursk Oblast. Alisa herself is no stranger to singing contests, thus having received a variety of awards. She has taken part in various contests, including the 2010 Rose of the Winds, the 2011 Constellation of Youth, and the 2012 New Wave Junior.
In April 2014, Kozhikina won the grand final of TV singing contest The Voice Kids Russia on the Russian Channel One. In the superfinal (the very last stage of the contest) she sang a Russian version of Mariah Carey's hit "My All" (with newly-written Russian lyrics by Maxim Fadeev, her coach on the show). The prize was 500 thousand roubles and a recording contract with Universal Music.
On 22 September 2014 it became known that Alisa Kozhikina was selected to represent Russia at the 12th annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Malta, with her song "Dreamer". The song was composed by Maxim Fadeev, the lyrics were written by Kozhikina herself along with Serebro's Olga Seryabkina. Alisa was the thirteenth to perform at the finals. She landed at the fifth place in the contest with 96 points.
