Nemo, 24, from Biel, will take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, for Switzerland, at the beginning of May. According to different bookmakers, the Swiss single “The Code” has a high chance of winning. The piece combines rap, drum and bass, and opera elements.
Nemo's career

Nemo hails from Biel, and at the age of 16, he beat out Swiss hip-hop greats like Manilio, Gris, Lo & Leduc as an unknown in a live rap battle on youth radio station SRF Virus. Since then, musical talent has become an integral part of the local scene.
After completing his musical studies in Zurich, Nemo moved to Berlin. In November 2023, the star came out as non-binary.
