Today we got the second entry of Australia’s national selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2022. Jude York will compete in Eurovision – Australia Decides with the song “I Won’t Need to Dream”.
Listen to “I Won’t Need to Dream”
Jude York is 22-year-old singer-songwriter and comes from Toowoomba, Queensland. While “I Won’t Need to Dream” is his first commercial single, he featured on a song “Glaciers” by producer Wastemall last year.
To think of my song being shared on such a monumental platform is truly mind-blowing. I wrote it with the amazing Billy Stonecipher about staying hopeful that dreams can come true. And now to have this opportunity as a queer artist in regional Queensland, I’ve never had a better reason to believe in that message!
Jude York on “I Won’t Need to Dream”
Eurovision – Australia Decides 2022, hosted by Joel Creasey and Myf Warhurst, will be broadcast live on SBS on 26 February 2022 at 20:30 AEDT (9:30am GMT/10:30am CET). The Eurovision 2019 televote winners KEiiNO will return to Australia after their successful 2019 tour of the country and be the special international guest act. Earlier today, the first song of the contest was released when Voyager released their song “Dreamer”.
