Although sometimes\u2026 Organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), it brings together participants from member countries for a musical competition in which each country presents an original song. Eurovision rules are strict: songs must be original, and participants must perform their songs live. Votes are awarded half by a jury of professionals and half by the public via calls and SMS.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland has a long history with Eurovision. Lys Assia won the very first edition in 1956 with the song \u00ab\u00a0Refrain\u00a0\u00bb, and the then little-known C\u00e9line Dion gave Switzerland a second victory in 1988 with \u00ab\u00a0Ne partez pas sans moi\u00a0\u00bb. In 2024, Nemo, a non-binary artist, added a third title to the list with her song \u00ab\u00a0The Code\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, people in Switzerland have been full of praise for him: \u00ab\u00a0<i>Congratulations Nemo on this crazy victory!

He has a younger sister. His parents ran a business that went bankrupt in the early 2010s. At the age of 25, Iel has always had a passion for music. Iel began playing the violin at the age of three and learned to play the drums at eight. At 13, he appeared in the musical \u00ab\u00a0Ich war noch niemals in New York\u00a0\u00bb. In 2015, the artist began to make a name for himself with his rap during his acclaimed appearance on \u00ab\u00a0La Suisse a un incroyable talent\u00a0\u00bb, aged just 15. That same year, iel released his first EP entitled \u00ab\u00a0Clownfish\u00a0\u00bb. In 2017, iel won the Swiss Music Award for Best Talent, followed by four more trophies in 2018 thanks to his hit \u00ab\u00a0Du\u00a0\u00bb. His songs \u00ab\u00a0Ke Bock\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0Du\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Himalaya\u00a0\u00bb won him gold and platinum records, consolidating his popularity in the Swiss music scene.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mUbeK-cTFUs?si=CimxVRO49zzq1u70\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nemo continued to diversify his musical talents.
