Antigioni, the Cypriot Eurovision 2026 hopeful, has released her Eurovision entry for Vienna
Antigioni was selected via an internal selection to represent Cyprus at the ESC 2026 in Austria. You can listen to her Eurovision entry ‘Jalla’ here:
The London born Greek Cypriot singer and songwriter has gained much fame and name in the United Kingdom. She was born and raised in London.
Named after her Grandmother, Antigoni signed a publishing deal at age 14, and has since been developing a powerfully original sound that incorporates her cultural roots with her city based surroundings. It’s not uncommon for listeners to note the contrasting influence of Hip-Hop, Pop & Bouzouki music all in a single track of hers.
This mix of genres & combining of Antigoni’s worlds, results in a unique new sound but with a universally familiar tone; representing her heritage with a palpable sense of pride over modern soundscapes. Antigoni has grown her audience & solidified herself as an artist to watch, having been a prominent artist in Nikos Vertis’ YTON. Combining this with her incredibly strong voice & evocative lyrics, Antigoni has been touted as a key musician to watch in 2025.
Cyprus in Eurovision
Cyprus debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 and is yet to win the event. The country achieved its best results in the contest in 2018 when Eleni Foureira placed 2nd in Lisbon with her mega hit ‘Fuego’. The Mediterranean island has partaken in our beloved competition 41 times.
In 2025 the supremely talented Theo Evan represented Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with his entry ‘Shh..’.
