Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, we had the opportunity to speak to Klavdia, who will represent Greece.
We spoke with Klavdia in Basel about her rehearsal on the Eurovision stage and how the message of “Asteromáta” resonates with her as a person. As well as the story of how the song came about.
Thank you Klavdia for your time, and good luck for next week!

Greece debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 when they were represented by Marinella and the song “Krasi, thalassa kai t’agori mou” which finished in 11th place with 7 points. Three years later Greece earned their first top 5 finish with Paschalis, Marianna, Robert, and Bessy who finished in 5th place with “Mathima solfege”. In 2001, Greece achieved their first top 3 placing with Antique and the song “I Would Die For You”. The song became a European hit and charted across the continent. In 2005, Helena Paparizou returned to the Eurovision stage as a solo artist and brought Greece their first, and to date only, victory. Her song “My Number One” won with 230 points, beating runners-up Malta by 38 points.
I am from Sweden and have been a writer for Eurovoix since 2023. Eurovision has been my passion for as long as I can remember. The contest has made me discover great music in a variety of genres and languages, and turned my whole life into a constant countdown to the national finals and ultimately the Eurovision week in May.
