Eurovision fans only just recognising Cyprus entry Theo Evan from huge TV show
The Eurovision Song Contest is set to light up the St Jakobshalle arena in Basel, Switzerland, as the first acts battle it out for a spot in Saturday's grand finale. The first show will see countries like Iceland, Poland, Ukraine, Norway and Croatia showcasing their talent. Cyprus' own Theo Evan is also set to grace the stage with his track 'Shh'. The 27 year old Greek Cypriot singer-songwriter, dancer, and actor, born Evangelos Theodorou, is more commonly known by his stage name. His early years were spent honing his craft in various theatre productions and talent shows. After finishing school, he made the move to the US to study music and performance, before dropping his debut single The Wall in 2021. Eagle-eyed viewers might have spotted him in one of HBO's biggest teen dramas, Euphoria, where he appeared as an extra. He featured in episode seven of season two, aptly titled The Theater and Its Double. Theo holds the honour of being the first Cypriot to represent Cyprus since 2017, as the country has often been represented by acts of different nationalities. The songwriter revealed his tune for Eurovision is steeped in ancient Greek mythos, taking a page from the tale of Narcissus—a handsome boy desired by many but smitten only with himself, leading to his tragic demise and rebirth as the namesake flower. Speaking about his Eurovision idol, he shared: "Since Eurovision is in Switzerland, I have to say Céline Dion." "She proved that Eurovision can launch global superstars, and her voice and passion have inspired me endlessly." Drawing creative zest from a roster of stars like Stromae, Michael Jackson, The Fray, Drake, Billie Eilish, and Coldplay, his track 'Shh' springs from the collaborative genius of Dimitris Kontopoulos, Elsie Bay, Linda Dale, Elke Tiel, and Lasse Nymann. Notably, Dimitris emerges as one of Eurovision's most accomplished writers, boasting songs in eight contests and securing four top-three spots. Gear up for the Eurovision spectacle with the first semi-final hitting screens on BBC One at 8pm, May 13. For viewers tuning in from beyond the UK, they can watch via the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
