Canada is set to make its Eurovision debut next year, marking the first new country to join since Australia in 2015. Five musicians have been chosen as finalists: William Cloutier, Josiane, Talk, Tyler Shaw, and Rêve. Rêve, a Juno Award-winning artist from Montreal, sees Eurovision as a "musical Olympics" and is honored to be Canada's representative.
Tyler Shaw, a Vancouver-born Chinese Canadian pop artist, has had songs reach Platinum and the most-played single on Canadian radio by a Canadian artist. Talk, from Ottawa, has been releasing new music consistently and will tour Canada later this year. Josiane, an Acadian singer-songwriter from New Brunswick, is bilingual pop and won Quebec's version of The Voice in 2020.
William Cloutier, from Drummondville, Que., won Mixmania at 16 and Star Académie in 2021. Rêve expressed her pride in being Canada's representative, while the other finalists feel this is a proud Canadian moment and a unique opportunity. Votes can be cast online, once a day, until Thursday.
