Germany has spoken! FIA from Berlin will head to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Nice, France with her song ‘Ohne Worte’ (which translates to: ‘Without Words’).

FIA was picked after winning a combination of online votes (via kika.de) and expert jury votes worth 50% of the final score each. You can watch a short demo of the song on the Eurovision.de website.

She beat competition from Adriano (14), Lenny (14), Rahel (13) and Toby (14).

Hearing the exciting news, FIA said: ‘I'm so looking forward to meeting all the children from other countries.’

The song will now be worked up with an official music video due to be released on Friday 13 October.

FIA was born in Shanghai, and after the birth of her sister, the family moved back to Germany. They now live in Berlin with their two rabbits Simba and Puschel. 

If you ask FIA what her favourite hobby is, the first thing she says is ‘performing’; she sings and dances anytime and anywhere and is the entertainer in her family.

During her appearance on this year's season of The Voice Kids, FIA impressed audiences with her translation of the songs using sign language. She was inspired to do this by her little sister.
