Latvia made its debut at the Eurovision Song Contest that took place in Stockholm in the year 2000.

Their first participating artist was the popular indie band Brainstorm who placed third on the scoreboard with their song My Star.

The country’s only victory (so far) came soon after in 2002, when Marie N won the Contest with her latin pop number I Wanna. She gave a memorable performance that saw the gradual removal of several items of clothing to reveal a long dress that had been concealed by a white suit and trilby hat.

When Latvia hosted the next Contest in Riga in 2003, Marie N returned alongside Brainstorm lead-singer Renārs Kaupers to co-host the show.
