After Amanda Georgiadis Tenfjord entered Eurovision last year singing Die Together, Greece returns to the stage with the youngest-ever singer to represent the country.

16-year-old Victor Vernicos will sing What they say for the competition. The song will see him combining both his vocal power and some great on-stage energy.

Victor has been involved in music since he was 4 years old. He has taken vocal and guitar lessons, while he has also attended music technology seminars. In 2021, he released his first song, which he wrote and produced.

He is now representing Greece at Eurovision with a song that he wrote himself when he was 14 years old.

Cypriot Australian Andrew Lambrou will be representing Cyprus at Eurovision this year with his song Break A Broken Heart.

Break A Broken Heart is written by Thomas Stengaard, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Jimmy Jansson and Marcus Winther-John.

The Eurovision entry song is about relationships and a broken heart, and how they can push us to rise from the ashes and come out stronger.

Andrew has a significant presence on social media, and his fanbase is continuously expanding. His videos have amassed a remarkable number of views and followers, and he has drawn the attention of music industry icons.

He recently signed with Greek record label, Panik Records, and has released three hit singles.

Armed with enthusiasm, broad appeal, and knack for producing synth-metal stompers, the band is ready to take over the stage of Liverpool singing Promise.
