Earlier this month, Swiss broadcaster SRF revealed that Remo Forrer will be representing Switzerland in Liverpool. As previously reported, the song will be revealed on March 7th. Ahead of the release, Remo has shared a short teaser of the entry.
Voice of Switzerland winner
At 21 years of age, the hopes of Switzerland at this year’s Eurovision will rest upon this young singer. He won the third season of the Voice of Switzerland in 2020, so he already has experience with musical television shows. He also won the show “Zeig uns Deine Stimmel” (Show Us Your Voice) last year.
He may only be 21, but he is ready for what lies ahead. “I can not only deliver under pressure, I also like to do it,” he says about himself.
“The song means a lot to me. It definitely has catchy tune potential and has been following me around for months. And it demands everything from my voice, it goes from very low to very high.”

During the contest in Turin, Switzerland qualified from the first Semi-Final in 9th place.
