Silia Kapsis,17, will perform for Eurovision in May, but not for her homeland.
At just 17, Sydney-born singer and dancer Silia Kapsis will be the youngest Australian ever to set foot on the Eurovision stage when she competes in Sweden in May. The twist in the tale? She won’t be representing Australia.
But there is a strategic twist to Silia’s magical tale – it is the second time Cyprus has fielded an Australian-Cypriot performer. Last year, 25-year-old Sydney-born Andrew Lambrou performed for Cyprus, delivering them seventh place out of 26 countries who made the competition final.
Kapsis is a young performer, even by Eurovision’s standards. She will be 17 years and five months old when she performs in May. Isaiah Firebrace, who represented Australia in 2017, was just 16 days older than Kapsis will be when he competed.“It’s an amazing opportunity, especially for my age,” Kapsis says. “I’m never going to live this down. And it’s a huge thing for me, especially because I’ve been since I was four. It is what I was born to do and I love it.
