In total, the company received 876 songs, and only one of them will try to repeat Chanel’s success in the European contest, which will be held in May in Liverpool (UK).
It is not the first time that the winner of the second edition of ‘Drag Race Spain’ has tried her luck to go to the Eurovision song contest. He already tried it in 2001, at the age of 21, together with the group Trans-X. Now solo, he once again demonstrates his potential with “Aire,” a song with a liberating message, encouraging us to take a step forward to exceed our goals. Sharonne, the alter ego of Cristóbal Garrido, was born in Sabadell and has already participated in other television programs such as ‘Your face does not sound to me yet’.

Four years ago he released his first album, ‘1016’, which earned him five gold and five platinum records.

At the age of 32, this Gran Canarian participated in the Mexican edition of the program ‘La Voz’ and signed his first contract with a record company in that country.

The winner of ‘Operación Triunfo 2018’ is currently one of the protagonists of the musical ‘El Rey León’, which is staged in Madrid. With ‘La Lola’ the singer focuses on a pop/urban theme that arises from a powerful rhythmic basis. “The song defines the power of women and the feminine part of each,” he explains.
Gandía’s is committed to a song that mixes the rhythms of trap and flamenco with rap and electronica. It’s called “My Family,” and it’s meant to show how the family “has a lot of positive things, but also dark things.” He took part in the Spanish version of ‘Factor X’ at the age of 23 and was applauded by the publicist Risto Mejide, who then gave him ‘the biggest yes I’ve ever given’.
At only 19 years old, she opened the concerts of Alejandro Sanz’s ‘Sirope Tour’.

They started playing in the metro of the capital and soon became the opening act for Taburete, among others.

With ‘Que esclati tot’, these three friends from Barcelona want to make history and bring the first song in Catalan to the Eurovision Song Contest. The theme tells the story of two people who love each other, but react in opposite ways to a collapsing world. The band debuted in 2018 with the song ‘Reina del Misteri’.
The former participant in ‘Operación Triunfo’ is betting on the Eurovision preselection for a daring and explosive song with which he wants to show off his vocal power. ‘Quiero arder’ is an electropop theme built on a set of violins fused into a foundation of multi-sensory electronics.

The artist from Albacete is committed to making regional folklore sound at Eurovision. For ‘Benidorm Fest’ he presents the song ‘Quiero y duelo’, a local expression from Castilla-La Mancha to express the feeling of wanting something and dealing with pain to achieve it. Karmento describes herself as a “singer-songwriter, sex therapist and enthusiast of emotional communication.” He started in music in 2012 when he decided to move to Malta.
These Gipuzkoan twins are taking Tiktok by storm, where they have amassed over 18 million followers and nearly 500 million likes, combining music with their studies in education. They try their luck at going to the Eurovision Song Contest with the song ‘Sayonara’, a catchy song that Aitana and Paula describe as a song for empowerment and self-love.
The 27-year-old from Granada wants to bring hardcore to the event in Alicante. ‘Traction’ speaks of unspoken feelings. Supported by national and international artists from the scene such as Charli XCX or Dorian Electra, she was named one of the 2021 Vogue hot talents as an emerging pop promise.

The ‘girl band’ joins ‘Benidorm Fest’ with a song full of power that makes people ‘pull out their claws’ when they hear it. One of the composers is Barei, who represented Spain at Eurovision 2016. E’Femme appeared one afternoon in September 2019 while the components were having their coffee. His most listened songs are ‘Vroom’ or ‘3 Fuegos’.
He started his music career making videos and music for social networks.
