When this year’s Eurovision Australia Decides contestants were announced, the one question that came out of most people’s mouths and through social media was “Who’s Leea Nanos?”

This teen from Melbourne has been singing and writing music since the age of 11, performing for audiences large and small.

Leea had a chat with Michael about being chosen for Eurovision Australia Decides and how she found out about the competition. They discuss the story behind her debut single ‘Set Me Free’ and how close she was to missing out on having it chosen for the Gold Coast.

Plus find out just how much of a Eurovision fan this talented singer-songwriter is.
