Rory and Eva discussed how her experience has been in Vienna, what she has learned from her experience, and her unusual plans for after Eurovision.
Who is Eva Marija?
Eva Marija Puc is a 20-year-old singer and violinist born in Luxembourg to Slovenian parents. Eva showed promise in music from a young age, going on to study at the well-respected Conservatoire de Luxembourg. She is currently in her final year of studying songwriting in London. She has released songs since 2021, with her Eurovision song “Mother Nature” being the first to chart in Luxembourg itself.
Eva’s track for the Contest was written by Eva herself, as well as Julie Aagaard, Maria Broberg and Thomas Stengaard.
Luxembourg’s Eurovision Journey
Luxembourg first made its debut in the first edition of the Contest in 1956, with their first entries being “Ne crois pas” and “Les Amants de minuit”, both performed by Michèle Arnaud. Since the first Contest, Luxembourg has competed a total of 38 times. Their best result was finishing in 1st place five times – in 1961, 1965, 1972, 1973 and 1983 respectively.
Luxembourg’s latest participation came in Basel in 2025. Laura Thorn represented Luxembourg with the song “La Poupée Monte Le Son”, qualifying in seventh place. In the Grand Final, Luxembourg finished 22nd, receiving 47 points: 23 from the national juries, and 24 from the televoters.
