Silia kickstarted her music career when she was 12 years old with her single “Who Am I?”.

“Liar” was written by Eurovision hitmaker Dimitris Kontopoulos, alongside Elke Tiel. “Liar”‘s onstage choreography will be done by Dreamworks and Nickelodeon alums Kelly Sweeney and Guy Groove.
Cyprus’ Eurovision Journey
