Eurovision 2023: Georgia

Eurovision Song Contest: Semi Final Two

Georgia: Iru
“Echo”
Born and raised in Georgia’s capital city, Tbilisi, 22-year-old Iru describes being ‘drowned in music’ from an early age; one notable early memory was participating in and winning Junior Eurovision in 2011 with her band Candy, aged 11. Having long since dropped the pink tutu of her Junior era, this year Iru stormed through the finals of The Voice Georgia with a touching rendition of Loreen’s Euphoria, complete with an actual snowstorm. Her victory came with the opportunity to represent Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest – a chance that Iru grabbed with open arms. And who else better to write her Eurovision entry than Giga Kukhianidze – the man responsible for all three of Georgia’s winning Junior Eurovision songs, including Candy Music.
