β€œDear people, omg I'm going to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest!!!!” the 21-year-old wrote on Twitter along with a video announcing the selection shared by both her and Dutch broadcaster AvroTros. The formal announcement was made on Tuesday.

Eurovision referred to S10 as an β€œalt-pop sensation” who uses song, rap, and spoken word in her music. She is originally from Abbekerk, Noord-Holland, a village of about 2,070 people just north of Hoorn. She released her first EP, Antipsychotica, in 2017, and has since released two more EPs and two full-length albums. Her latest, Adem je in, came out this summer, with a single by the same name that charted at number 15.

β€œMusic is everything to me. I hope my music can bring something to other people’s lives, simply because it has done so much for me. Which is why I could almost explode with joy at the idea that I’ll be taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest this year,” she said in a statement released by Eurovision.

β€œS10’s songs display guts and authenticity,” said Eric van Stade, the head of AvroTros, about the selection committee’s decision. β€œS10 will remain true to herself and her unique style,” he said of her choice to perform in Dutch. β€œWe’re sticking our necks out with this choice, which the selection committee is unanimously behind.”

Eurovision will be held from May 10-14 in Turin, Italy.
