Today Austrian Television (ORF) finally released their Eurovision Song Contest 2020 entry. The song is called Alive and will be sung by Vincent Bueno.
Vincent was announced as Austria’s entrant way back on December 12 2019 so it has been a long wait for the reveal of the song. Vincent was born in 1985 and splits his time between Austria and The Philippines. He first came to prominence in Austria in 2008 when he won the television competition , Musical! The Show. In 2010 he began his career in The Phillippines, starring in the show, ASAP XV.
Vincent is fluent in German and English and has already released three studio albums Step By Step, Wieder Leben and Invincible, with so far Step By Step being the only one to make the Austrian charts.
Last year Paenda failed to make the finals with the song Limits, let’s see if Vincent can fix that this.
