We are a collective of creators who LOVE the Eurovision Song Contest— but our countries do NOT compete. So if you’re wondering why the content here feels a little different, it’s because it is. Our goal is to provide a fresh, honest and fun take on the Eurovision Song Contest. 

From interviews to polls, think pieces to live streams— this space is for any and all in our Eurovision Family!

Sydni is a Eurovision enthusiast from the United States. “Eurovision is all about coming together and enjoying art. Music is a universal language and we can all join together no matter where we are from and for the three minutes we are enjoying a Eurovision Entry together we are united by that entry. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Jordan Pastor is a resident of a town on the outskirts of the San Francisco Bay called Martinez. He loves Eurovision because it’s spontaneous, spectacular, and worlds of fun on top of being inclusive and adaptable to modern times. In his own words, “Every year brings a new plethora of vibrant songs, and a myriad of beautiful stories.” Other than his love for the contest, He is also a server/bartender at a breakfast diner called Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe (founded by Mike Dirnt from Green Day) and a fiction novelist in the psych thriller genre. “I have a bad habit of saturating my books with Eurovision references, but I think it makes things pretty fun in general – Eurovision always does!”
