Switzerland’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, Nemo, has become a fan favorite and is predicted to win the competition. After their impressive performance in the semi-finals, fans are convinced that Switzerland has the contest in the bag. One user on X wrote, “WINNER VIBES this performance is insane.” Now, everyone is curious to learn more about Nemo and their chances of winning Eurovision 2024.
Nemo, a 24-year-old singer and rapper from Biel, Switzerland, has been playing musical instruments since childhood, including the violin, piano, and drums. However, they gained overnight fame in 2016 when one of their performances went viral. Since then, Nemo has released two EPs and achieved success on the Swiss Singles Chart with seven songs.
Not only is Nemo musically talented, but they have also participated in TV competitions. They finished fifth in the second season of The Masked Singer Switzerland. In their music, Nemo addresses personal themes such as gender identity, mental health, and finding one’s place in the world.
What makes Nemo’s participation in Eurovision 2024 even more significant is that they are non-binary. If they win the contest, they will be the first non-binary performer in Eurovision history to achieve such a feat. This year marks the first time Eurovision has seen openly non-binary performers compete, with Ireland’s entry, Bambie Thug, also identifying as non-binary.
Nemo, a non-binary artist, is hoping to make history by becoming the first non-binary act to win Eurovision. In an interview with Eurovoix, Nemo expressed the importance of representing the non-binary community and spreading the message that everyone is perfect just the way they are. They believe that their participation in Eurovision serves as a powerful symbol of acceptance and self-expression.
Nemo’s Eurovision song for 2024 is a personal reflection on their journey towards embracing their non-binary identity. The lyrics of the song convey a sense of breaking free from societal expectations and finding one’s true self. Nemo describes the privilege they feel in being able to perform their song and openly discuss their non-binary experience.
The selection process for Switzerland’s Eurovision entry was rigorous, with panels of both the public and experts choosing Nemo’s song, “The Code,” out of 471 other entries. Nemo credits their musical influences, including their early exposure to classical melodies through youth opera, for shaping their work as a musician.
Nemo deeply relates to their Eurovision entry song, feeling a strong connection to it as if they are one with the music. The authenticity of performing something that truly represents who they are adds to Nemo’s genuine experience of participating in Eurovision.
Fans of Eurovision were captivated by Nemo’s semi-final performance, with many taking to social media to praise the artist. The odds of Nemo winning Eurovision, according to Eurovision World, are currently at 12%. However, Croatia’s song “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” and Israel’s song “Hurricane” are considered the top contenders. Other countries favored to win include Italy, Netherlands, and Ukraine.
While Switzerland has yet to win Eurovision, Nemo’s groundbreaking representation as a non-binary artist brings hope for a future victory.

1956 marked the beginning of an iconic song contest, hosted in Lugano, Switzerland. It was a historic moment when Swiss singer Lys Assia emerged as the winner with her sensational song, Refrain. However, Switzerland declined the opportunity to host the contest for the second consecutive year. It wasn’t until 1989 that Eurovision made its triumphant return to Switzerland, following the country’s victory the previous year.
In 1988, the world witnessed the remarkable talent of Céline Dion, who represented Switzerland and claimed victory with her mesmerizing performance of the song Ne partez pas sans moi (‘Don’t Leave Without Me’). It is worth noting that participants were not required to be nationals of the country they represented, and Céline, originally from Canada, perfectly exemplified this.
Since Céline Dion’s triumph, Switzerland has been longing for another taste of victory at Eurovision. It has been a staggering 36 years since their last win. However, all eyes are now on Nemo, as the nation hopes he can secure the coveted title and bring the Eurovision Song Contest back to Switzerland in 2025.
