Eurovision Australia Decides 2019: Ella Hooper, pride of Violet Town

Interviews, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

You might remember Ella Hooper from the massive Aussie band Killing Heidi.

Liam had a chat with Ella as she prepares for Eurovision Australia Decides with her song ‘Data Dust’.

Not only did they talk about the song, its talented writer and the singer’s Australia Decides journey, but Liam relived his youth by asking that one important double-barrelled question: ‘Who is Heidi and why were they killing her?’

If you weren’t around in the late 1990s and early 2000s, you’ll even get a quick recap of the Killing Heidi phenomenon.

Plus find out how Ella’s been keeping up with all things Eurovision over the last few years.
