About Roxen

Larisa Roxana Giurgiu, also known as Roxen, was born in the year 2000 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Last year she was internally selected to represent her home country at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam. A public selection attributed her the song Alcohol you among five entries performed live on national television. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to fly to the Netherlands due to the cancellation of the contest. TVR confirmed since the cancellation that Roxen will be given the opportunity to sing at the 2021 Eurovision, this time with an internally selected song, Amnesia.

The young singer will step on stage on Tuesday 18 May 2021 in the second half of the first semi final.

In 2016 the country was sanctioned by the EBU due to its broadcaster’s overdue debt and was forced to stay out of the competition, despite having chosen its Eurovision entry and act for Stockholm.
