Australian Leea Nanos looking to represent Greece in Eurovision 2025

·

Leea Nanos, an Australian singer-songwriter with Greek heritage, has reportedly submitted a song for Greece’s upcoming Eurovision national selection.

This could mark a new chapter for the artist, who is no stranger to the Eurovision world, having previously competed in Eurovision – Australia Decides.

Australia has strong Greek connections to Eurovision, with artists like Sydney’s Andrew Lambrou and Silia Kapsis representing Cyprus in recent years. This raises the possibility that an Australian could finally represent Greece, and Leea Nanos might be the one to do it.

This year, Greece is hosting its first national selection since 2017, and its first with multiple competing artists since 2015. It will also be the country’s first open selection in 22 years, with hundreds of entries already submitted.

A list of artists who have reportedly submitted songs to Greece’s national broadcaster ERT has been released by Eurovision fan site Eurovision Fun, and Leea Nanos is among them.

Leea, born in Australia to a Greek father, competed in Eurovision – Australia Decides in 2019 with her song Set Me Free. In 2022, she returned to the competition as a songwriter, penning the song Bite Me for Australian girl group G-Nat!on. The group finished 5th overall and third in the televote, a strong result for both Leea and the group.

Since then, Leea has continued to release music, including singles like Bad Girl and Unstoppable, and has written for other artists. Last year, she released her debut EP Switch Profile, showcasing her evolving sound.

In an interview with Aussie Vision in 2023, Leea expressed her ongoing interest in Eurovision. She revealed that an exciting project was pending: “Something is in the works that is highly confidential at the moment, but let’s just say the vibe of the music video and the vibe of the songs — they’re probably coming to Eurovision… Eurovision is my family, so I would be honoured [to compete]. I would like to try for Greece or Cyprus. There has been some speculation for a couple of years about that with me. Let’s pray something for the future comes about.”

Could this be the year Leea Nanos represents Greece? With ERT yet to announce the date, venue, or finalists for its national final, the competition is set to be fierce. The selection will feature a 50/50 vote between the public and two juries, with hundreds of entries in the running.
