We have another name to add to the list of participants at Junior Eurovision 2024, as RAI has confirmed that Simone Grande will represent Italy at Junior Eurovision 2024 in Madrid.
A winner of The Voice Kids Italy
Simone currently live in Rozzano, which a small town near Milan, and is currently attending Middle School. Despite not liking studying very much, Simone also has other hobbies. He loves to play football and is a massive fan of Inter Milano, as well as cooking with his family.
At the age of 4, Simone started dancing, thanks to his sister Noemi, but is now mainly focused in singing, which seemed to have paid off, as he became the winner of The Voice Kids Italy in 2023. Simone recently released his first single, a cover of Mahmood & Blanco’s Eurovision 2022 entry “Brividi”.
Further details about Simone’s entry for Junior Eurovision 2024 will be revealed in due course.
