When he was just 14 years old, Victor Vernicos wrote the song What They Say.
This May, the now 16-year-old Greek Danish singer, songwriter and producer, will sing it live on stage when he represents Greece in Eurovision 2023.
According to Victor’s label Panik Records, the song celebrates the younger generation “who dare to dream and create despite difficulties.”
The song, and the accompanying video, are meant to encourage folks to share their feelings.
Victor first became popular after releasing the song Hope It’s In Heaven two years ago. In March 2022, he released his official debut song as a professional artist, called Fake Club.
Victor was announced as the Greek Eurovision 2023 representative in late January.
