On 2 September 2024, Cypriot broadcaster CyBC revealed that Theo Evan, a Cypriot-born singer-songwriter, would be representing Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will take place in Basel, Switzerland. This marks a significant moment as Theo Evan becomes the first native Cypriot artist to take the stage at Eurovision since 2017, following a long history of international representatives from Cyprus.
Theo Evan, born Evangelos Theodorou in Nicosia, Cyprus, is a multi-talented artist whose career has spanned across music, dance, and acting. Theo showed an early passion for the arts, performing in local talent shows and theatre productions from a young age. As he developed his craft, he moved to Boston to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he further refined his skills in songwriting, performance, and production.
His music blends elements of pop, electronic, and Latin influences, and since 2021, Theo has been steadily building his presence in the music industry. His previous singles, such as “The Wall”, “So Cold” and “Save Me from Myself” have showcased his versatile vocal style and unique approach to blending genres.
Theo's Eurovision entry, "Shh," was released on 11 March 2025. Co-written by a team of experienced Eurovision songwriters—Dimitris Kontopoulos, Elke Tiel, Elsie Søllesvik, Lasse Nymann, and Linda Dale—"Shh" combines an infectious pop beat with a darker, mysterious undertone.
Known for his dynamic performances (and if the official music video is anything to go by), Theo is expected to deliver something special on the Eurovision stage. He might even show us his golden locks
