Eurovision – Australia Decides 2020: Chatting with iOTA

Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

Australia gets its second chance to select a song for Eurovision, and this year iOTA is one of the contestants in Eurovision: Australia Decides.

Once Michael got questioned about his New Zealand-based intro, the pair talked about iOTA’s career from singing to theatre.

The accomplished musician and playwright shared what it means to him to be a queer person in the industry and explained the meaning behind his Australia Decides song, Life.

Plus, in this podcast-exclusive interview, iOTA asks for forgiveness for a Eurovision sin.

See iOTA perform Life during Eurovision: Australia Decides on Saturday 8 February on SBS.
