Windows95man is an embodiment of the '90s, who frees a once timid family man from his everyday life. It all started when Teemu Keisteri’s home videos on YouTube began to circulate all over the world. One of the videos even ended up in a commercial aired during an NHL game.

In 2013, a DJ gig at the Flow Festival brought the character known as Windows95man to life. His artist costume consists of a pair of very cut-off shorts made by Keisteri’s friend, and a Windows95 t-shirt ordered online. Since then, Windows95man has performed at Helsinki’s New Year’s celebration in 2022, as an opening act for Käärijä at the Helsinki Ice Hall and at numerous smaller events.

At UMK, Windows95man released his very first single, No Rules. The song title refers to the artist’s motto, which appears in both his music and other artistic productions. Henri Piispanen is the singer in No Rules. Keisteri explains that the chorus of the song was so challenging that he had trouble finding a singer with enough technical skill to pull it off. Piispanen was the only one whose voice could go high enough.

“In my opinion, all Finns are a bit looney-tunes deep inside, and I wanted to bring that out more. Now I can share my music with an even bigger audience as well as spread the joyous message of No Rules,” says Keisteri.

The 2024 edition of 'Dora' has its winner and Croatia has its Eurovision Song Contest entry for Malmö - it's Baby Lasagna with the song 'Rim Tim Tagi Dim'.

The Baby Lasagna project was created due to the singer/songwriter's need to compose music according to his own wishes instead of according to his client's instructions. Behind the name Baby Lasagna is the young musician Marko Puri¨ić from Umag.

Marko uses his many years of professional composition experience to play with different genres, and his relaxed approach to music is reflected in the humour and casual nature of the lyrics. Using what he sees as the predictable arrangement standards of the music industry, Marko tries, for those who listen carefully, to convey a deeper message about the worries and sufferings of our environment.

Baby Lasagna will try to make you laugh and entertain you, but at the same time attempt to draw your attention to the social and spiritual challenges of the individual and society. It is all, however, in the name of good fun and being carefree.

‘Taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest is a dream come true. I used to watch it together with my parents, glued to the screen, year after year. It's an honor to represent the Netherlands, and I'm committed to giving my all for the best possible outcome.’

The singer, who is known for his lively performances and has been winning over a growing national and international following with his catchy beats and creative wordplay, was chosen from over 600 potential participants.

‘Following a careful and multi-phase process, the selection committee ultimately opted for Joost Klein. There were a lot of entries from a wide range of genres, but in our view his had the most hit potential. In the song, you hear his familiar mix of party and nostalgia.

As he embarks on the first release under his own name, Olly Alexander remains one of the world's most trailblazing modern pop stars.

Across three hugely successful albums to date, the singer, actor and fashion icon has scored two #1 UK albums, 10 UK Top 40 singles and was recently awarded the BRIT Billion Award (with 6.5 billion streams globally).

With Years & Years evolving into a solo project and, in 2024, a brand new solo era, Olly has become a once-in-a-generation voice: the Russell T Davies show It's A Sin won Best New Drama at the National Television Awards, with Olly also nominated for Leading Actor at the 2022 BAFTA Television Awards.

Having headlined arenas and festivals worldwide - not to mention collaborating with the likes of Sir Elton John, Kylie, and Pet Shop Boys - Olly Alexander's icon-status recently saw him immortalised at Madame Tussauds London: a fitting home for a pop star who has helped change British culture forever, and now represents the United Kingdom on the Eurovision Song Contest stage.

The 2024 edition of 'Melodifestivalen' has concluded, and Sweden has its entry to the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. Marcus & Martinus will make the short trip to Malmö with 'Unforgettable'.

Twin brothers Marcus and Martinus Gunnarsen, from Elverum in Norway, broke through with a bang as 10-year-olds when they won the Norwegian show Melodi Grand Prix Junior, back in 2012. After that, life was never the same! They've toured Europe, won a Norwegian Grammy and in 2022 the pair even won the Swedish version of The Masked Singer.

The boys have released three albums to date, with every one of them going to number 1 in their native Norway.

In 2017, the brothers announced the points for Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv. In 2023, they finished in second place in Melodifestivalen with the song Air, just behind the Eurovision winner Loreen with Tattoo. Their song became a huge hit that has up to now been streamed over 14 million times.

Their most streamed song on Spotify is Elektrisk, with well over 100 million plays.
