Around 420 contributions were submitted to the Swiss broadcaster for Eurovision 2024. Singer-
songwriters submitted their songs and Nemo was one of the five finalists competing for Malmö.
Auditions took place last December in the Zurich studios of the SRF during which the candidates
presented themselves before the jury. At the end of the selection, the Swiss representative was chosen
by the public, the international juries and the professional panel.
His name had been rumoured for a while, Swiss television has just made it official: Nemo will proudly
wear the Swiss colours next May.
Like a fish in water !!! (Finding Nemo the 2003 American animated comedy-drama adventure film), he
will perform “The Code” in Malmö, a tempo pop-up track with unexpected sounds, in which the artist
navigates between musical styles (from opera to urban music!) and tones, described as “a safe space
through which each person can find their truth”. A call to break the codes!
Aged 24, Nemo Mettler is originally from Bienne but now lives in Germany. Known as a rapper but also
as a musician, the artist plays the violin, piano and drums. Hip-hop music runs through his veins.
His career began at the age of 16. He signed a contract with the Bakara Music label and mainly
focused on songs in German or German-Swiss language. A first EP “Clownfish” climbed the charts in
2015.
Other mini-albums were released: “Momänt-Kids”, released a year later, then “Fundburö” in 2017. The
latter includes several titles such as “Usserirdisch”, “Iri Ouge”, “Kunstwärch” and “Du” (the song
successfully ranked in the top 10 singles in Switzerland).
Nemo was named “Best Talent” and won multiple awards at the Energy Music Awards followed with the
Swiss Music Awards in 2018 as “Best male solo artist”, “Best live artist”, “Best hit” and “Best breaking
act”.
The singles “Crush uf di”, “Girl us mire City”, and “5i uf by Uhr” were released
Nemo participated in the second season of The Masked Singer in 2021: the artist was masked as a
panda and reaches 5th place in the ranking.
The rapper then joined the cast of Sing my Song – The Swiss Exchange Concert.
“Chleiderchäschtli” and “Certified Pop Queen” were released the same year.
Nemo moved to Berlin and began working on English-language texts.
His most recent albums are published in English. New songs like “lonely af,” “own shit,” or “f*ck love”
show off his new sound. Life in Berlin allows him to discover himself: the performer makes his “non-
binary” identity public and prefers to be called “Nemo” or by a neutral pronoun. He released the single
“This Body”
Nemo sometimes packs serious and important messages into feel-good songs and shows that
everything doesn’t always have to fit together perfectly or make sense to be good.
