Cyprus this year will be represented at Eurovision by singer Despina Olympiou, who will perform a Greek song. Andreas Giorgallis, the music producer and Zenon Zindilis, the lyrics producer are both Cypriot citizens.
For a change, broadcaster CyBC has decided an internal selection this year. The song title is yet to be revealed. Olympiou has had a successful career since 1992 and still going strong. Last year, she cooperated with Stereo Mike on the single Den s’ afino apo ta matia mou, which was a huge success both in Greece and Cyprus.
Stereo Mike represented Greece in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf with the song Watch My Dance, performed with Loucas Yiorkas. This song won the first Semi-Final and came 7th in the Grand Final.
Now Olympiou is taking the next step in her career by representing Cyprus in Malmö, Sweden where she will perform in the second half of the first Semi-Final on May 14. For more info, stay tuned to Eurovision.tv for more news on the Cypriot entry.
