My Take
Nemo is the rare artist whose biography and artistry feel inseparable. A multi-instrumentalist trained at Zurich University of the Arts, they could have coasted on technical skill alone, but their 2024 Eurovision win with The Code was something braver: the first openly non-binary act to win, turning identity into anthem rather than footnote. I admire performers who make vulnerability load-bearing instead of decorative. Nemo does exactly that. The violin, piano and drums are impressive, sure, but what holds my attention is the refusal to shrink. I suspect their most interesting work is still ahead of them.
