Who is ADONXS?
ADONXS is the stage name of Adam Pavlovčin, a 29-year-old singer originally born in Myjava in Slovakia, less than 10 kilometres from the Czech border. Growing up, ADONXS focused heavily on singing and dancing – eventually moving to Prague and London – to pursue a musical career. His big break came in 2021, when he won the joint Czech and Slovak version of Pop Idol, SuperStar. Since then, he has released several tracks under his new persona of ADONXS.
His song for Eurovision 2025 – “Kiss Kiss Goodbye” – was written by ADONXS himself, as well as Adriano Lopes da Silva, George Masters-Clark, Ines Coulon, Lorenzo Calvo, Michaela Charvátová and Ronald Janeček.
Czechia’s Eurovision journey
Czechia made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, with Kabát’s “Malá dama”; however, their debut entry finished last in a 28-song semi-final, scoring only 1 point. This kicked off three consecutive non-qualifications, with their best result coming in 2008, finishing in second-last place. Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015. In 2016, Czechia qualified for the first time with Gabriela Gunciková’s “I Stand”.
Czechia opted for a national selection in 2024, ultimately choosing Aiko with the song “Pedestal”. “Pedestal” scored 38 points in the second semifinal, placing eleventh and just missing out on the Grand Final.
