Nemo’s victory at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest marked a significant moment not only for themselves but also for Switzerland, securing the country’s first win since 1988. Born Nemo Mettler on August 3, 1999, they exhibited a passion for music from a young age, mastering instruments like the violin, piano, and drums. Their journey into the world of music took various turns, from opera to rap battles, showcasing their versatility and eclectic tastes.
After attending Zurich University of the Arts and pursuing studies in solo singing, Nemo ventured to Berlin to further their career. With four EPs and around 20 singles under their belt, Nemo’s music career was already on a promising trajectory. Their identification as non-binary and coming out as pansexual added layers to their personal narrative, contributing to their authenticity as an artist.
Selected as Switzerland’s representative for Eurovision 2024, Nemo brought a fresh perspective to the contest, departing from the country’s recent trend of male ballads. Their performance of “The Code,” blending elements of drum and bass, EDM, and opera, captivated audiences and judges alike, earning them a resounding victory.
Despite a minor mishap with the Eurovision trophy, Nemo’s triumph solidified their position as a rising star in the music industry. With their talent, unique style, and newfound platform, the future looks bright for Nemo as they continue to make waves in the music world.
