What is known about the singer Nemo
Nemo Mettler aka Nemo was born on August 3, 1999 in Billier, Switzerland and is now 24 years old. His zodiac sign is Leo.
From childhood, the boy was fond of music and already at a young age mastered playing the violin, piano and drums.
His musical talent was noticed early, and at the age of 18 he released a platinum single and two mini-albums, for which he received five awards at the prestigious Swiss Music Awards.

Who won Eurovision in the last 10 years
It should be noted that this year's triumph is Switzerland's third victory at the song contest.
Before that, Switzerland sent its performers every year, except for 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2003.
If we talk about the last 10 years, then Ukraine can be called one of the most successful representatives at Eurovision. Since 2014, our artists have been lucky enough to raise the crystal microphone above their heads twice.
In this indicator, only Sweden, which also triumphed twice at the Eurovision Song Contest in the last decade, matched us.

- 2013 – Denmark (Emmeli de Forest – “Only Teardrops”)
