🇬🇪 Mariam Shengelia sings for Georgia

Mariam Shengelia sings for Georgia.  Georgia has officially announced that Mariam Shengelia will represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel with the song “Freedom“.

Mariam Shengelia is a Georgian singer who first gained national recognition when she was only 14 years old as a semi-finalist on X-Factor Georgia in 2018. She continued to showcase her talent in 2019 by competing in Georgian Idol, where she finished sixth. In 2021, she reached the semi-finals of The Voice of Georgia, and in 2024, she demonstrated her versatility by becoming a finalist on Dancing with the Stars Georgia. Beyond her entertainment career, Mariam is pursuing studies in Political Sciences at Tbilisi State University and serves as a Young European Ambassador, promoting cross-cultural understanding and collaboration. Next to her solo carreer, Shengelia is part of a band called Mixtura, and was set to be a backing vocalist for Tornike Kipiani in the later cancelled 2020 Eurovision edition.

 

“Freedom” was composed by Keti Gabisiani, with lyrics by Buka Kartozia, and is performed in both Georgian and English. The song blends traditional Georgian musical elements with modern sounds, conveying themes of freedom, homeland, and hope. Both the song and artist were internally selected. This is her Eurovision entry “Freedom”: 

Georgia will perform in the second half of the second semi-final on May 15th. Last year Georgia qualified for the first time since 2016 with “Firefighter”. Will they continue their streak this year?

 

This announcement completes the lineup for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, with Georgia being the last of the 37 participating countries to reveal its act for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
