Australian singer Silia Kapsis will represent Cyprus at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden.
In an unprecedented back-to-back event, an Australian talent will once again perform as Cyprus’ performer at the Eurovision Song Contest, following in the footsteps of last year’s Sydney’s Andrew Lambrou.
The 16-year-old’s Eurovision song was written by acclaimed Greek composer Dimitris Kontopoulos.
In a twist, Kapsis had originally hoped to represent another country.
In July, the pop star took to her Facebook asking for their support in her bid to represent Greece.
