Theo Evan

A singer and dancer since the age of 7, and a songwriter since his teens, Theo Evan’s journey to the Eurovision Song Contest will be the latest chapter in the story of an artist that’s always had his passion for music as its central plot.

Born in Nicosia, his early days were spent in dance lessons, singing in his school choir and performing in a wide variety of theatre productions and talent shows across Cyprus, often earning awards and distinctions for his efforts. 

After graduating from The English School in Nicosia, Theo moved to the US to study music and performance at the internationally renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He completed his studies with distinction and has since been invited back as an honorary guest at the university’s graduation ceremony on three occasions, alongside the likes of Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams, John Legend and Eurovision Song Contest 2016 interval act Justin Timberlake!

Theo released his very first single The Wall in 2021, and he’s built up a strong catalogue of singles since then, inspired by everything from Stromae to Michael Jackson to reggaeton.

Eagle-eyed viewers might have spotted Theo in HBO’s hit TV series Euphoria, where he’s appeared as an extra!

Theo's song, which will be released at a later date, will be Cyprus’ 41st entry to compete at the Eurovision Song Contest. To date, Cyprus’ best result at the Contest has been the second-place finish it achieved at Lisbon 2018, where Eleni Foureira lit up the stage with Fuego.

Since then, Cyprus has had 4 more entries qualify to the Grand Final, most recently in 2024, when Silia Kapsis represented the country with Liar. The high-energy dance tune gave Cyprus a 15th-place finish, with 78 points.
