About Kiana
Fifteen-year-old Kiana found herself in the spotlight after entering Talang, the Swedish edition of the Got Talent franchise. She finished the competition in second place, supported by judge Bianca Ingrosso. Kiana’s love of singing and dance begun at an early age, and continues as she is regularly involved in performances at Intiman, including Annie, Ronja Rövardotter and most recently Emil in Lönneberga. “Where Did You Go” marks Kiana’s Melodifestivalen debut.
Sweden’s Eurovision Journey
In 1958, Sweden made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, with Alice Babs representing them with the song “Lilla stjärna” which placed fourth. Since its debut, the Scandinavian nation has managed to win six times (1974, 1984, 1991, 1999, 2012, and 2015).
In 2022, Sweden was represented by Cornelia Jakobs, who won the 61st edition of the competition and competed with the song “Hold Me Closer”, which managed to qualify for the Grand Final and placed 4th with 438 points from the jury and televoters.
