Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper
The potential of this Dutch duo was spotted by 'Arcade' singer and Eurovision 2019 winner Duncan Laurence and his partner, songwriter Jordan Garfield, who brought the pair together.The foursome wrote a song that impressed the Dutch selection committee and they were chosen, unanimously, to represent the Netherlands at the 2023 Contest.
Mia had a creative upbringing packed with violin lessons and ballet, which paved the way for her pop hit Mutual Needs. Dion’s early life was musical too, leading to successful hits with impressive streaming figures, and in 2021 he supported Duncan Laurence on tour.
Mia won’t feel out of place in the UK, having spent two years living in London. She’d also quite like to marry Harry Styles. Dion, meanwhile, claims that he meditates in front of an infrared panel every morning - naked.
