Eurovision in Basel is just less than a month away. In the lead-up to the start of rehearsals, we will get to know a bit more about this year’s artists, their discography, and their Eurovision 2025 journey so far. Up next, we will preview Germany’s Abor & Tynna.
Abor & Tynna’s Eurovision Journey So Far
Germany continued to opt for a National Final to select its representative. However, a twist came along as former Eurovision participant Stefan Raab, who helped Germany secure its win in 2010, held a National Final, and after numerous weeks, the selection concluded with Abor & Tynna obtaining the most votes from the public. As a member of the Big Five, Germany are through to the final. However, Abor & Tynna will perform “Baller” between Israel and Serbia on Semi-Final Two on May 15.
Abor & Tynna’s song for Basel – “Baller” – was written by Abor & Tynna themselves, alongside Alexander Hauer.

Who are Abor & Tynna?
Abor & Tynna are the stage names of Atilla and Tünde Bornemisza, a sibling duo from Vienna in Austria. The siblings are of Hungarian origin, with their father being able to play in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as a cellist. In 2016, the pair released their first original song on Soundcloud, which was well-received by critics. In 2020, the duo were offered the chance to represent Austria but the pair declined due to their inexperience. Abor & Tynna released their debut album, Bittersüß, in the midst of their Eurovision 2025 participation.
Germany’s Eurovision Journey
Germany has been part of Eurovision since the beginning, debuting in 1956. Their debut entries were Walter Andreas Schwarz’s “Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück” and Freddy Quinn’s “So geht das jede Nacht”. Germany has appeared at every Eurovision except for 1996, which means they have been at more Contests than any other country. They have a long history of success in Eurovision, finishing in the top 3 an impressive 13 times. Germany has won the contest twice: Nicole won in 1982 with her song “Ein bißchen Frieden”, taking home 161 points. Their second win came in 2010, when Lena scored 246 points with her song “Satellite”.
Germany’s most recent Eurovision entry was Isaak with “Always on the Run”. As Germany is part of the Big 5, they automatically qualified for the Grand Final. In the Final, the song received 117 points and finished in 12th place – the first time the country has finished on the left hand side of the scoreboard since 2018.
