Sheldon Riley

Sheldon Riley’s mesmerising and emotional sound paired with his Avant-Garde, high fashion style have truly laid the foundation for a disruptive entry into the music industry making him one of Australia’s most notable up and coming artists. Sheldon’s style of music has been described as “dark pop” a cinematic and passionate expression.  Forging a strong, authentic and inclusive path since establishing himself as a musician and artist to remember during his performances on Australian and US knockout television. Off the back of his acclaimed appearances, Sheldon has garnered significant praise and following with his original sound and style. Riley follows his first two single releases with his latest offering ‘AGAIN’, a confession to self-sabotage and torment. The orchestral, emotional and new-age cinematic vibe shows again that Riley’s original music showcases his empathetic and impactful song writing abilities along with his exquisite and captivating vocals.

“It has always been the highlight, waking up at 5am every year to watch from Australia. Growing up on the Gold Coast, watching Conchita for the first time was proof to me that the world will choose different if given the chance to see it. I am different but I have found my place on mainstream television where I never fit the mould, on radio that has never played music like mine, festivals you’d never think I’d fit the bill for because I always dare to dream… in my fashion and my music always bringing that little bit of Eurovision magic with me every time. I’m so proud of the artist I am today, wearing my crystal mask in so many parts of the world. It would be an honour to represent Australia and bring my sparkle to Europe! After all these years of dreaming and creating the artist I am today. It’s all coming to life in epic fashion, LIVE on stage!”– Sheldon Riley

G-Nat!on

Hot off their knock-out grand final appearance on The Voice, G-Nat!on combine powerful vocals with power-packed choreography to rival girl groups of the past. This year they’ve given us our new favourite dance anthems ‘Mad About You’ and ‘Little Bit Of’, a fusion of K-Pop, RnB, Pop and Hip-Hop. This followed the successful release of their 2019 single ‘Girls’ Night Out’ and ‘Control’, which earned them a top ten spot on Triple J Unearthed. With a 200k following on TikTok and over one million streams on Spotify – it’s clear we’re ready for a new girl group! 

“We are beyond honoured to be the first ever girl-group to perform at Eurovision – Australia Decides! It is so exciting to be a part of the creativity, inspiration, and diversity that Eurovision brings every year, and we cannot wait to bring our song to life on the national stage. Full of strong harmonies and edgy choreography, our song is a dance-pop explosion set to provide the ultimate live show experience. We hope our performance inspires other young people to be strong, powerful, and confident in themselves – see you on the Gold Coast!” – Emma, G-Nat!on member
