George Perris of Cyprus has become the first confirmed artist taking part in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
The 43-year-old singer-songwriter – raised in Athens – has been in the music industry for more than two decades and has released 10 studio albums internationally, in Greek, French and English.
Perris was selected internally to represent Cyprus by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), although the broadcaster will now turn to the Cypriot public to select his entry.
Songwriters have until December 13 to upload their songs to the CyBC website, after which a televised national selection process will allow viewers to determine which one Perris will take to Burgas next May.
Cyprus has been part of Eurovision since 1981 and has achieved a best-placed finish of second, achieved in 2018 with Eleni Foureira’s ‘Fuego’.
