Veronica Fusaro – Who Are You?
Veronica Fusaro is a Swiss–Italian singer-songwriter who grew up in the city of Thun, Switzerland, and is regarded as one of the country’s most distinctive voices. Her music blends pop with elements of soul and rock, characterized by sharp writing, emotional depth, and rhythmic sound. Fusaro first gained public recognition after participating in the second season of “The Voice of Switzerland”. As an established live performer, she won the “Best Talent” award from Swiss Radio SRF 3 in 2016, marking an early breakthrough in her career. Since then, Fusaro has performed in over 500 concerts and festivals both in Switzerland and abroad.
Switzerland at Eurovision 2025
“Voyage” is the title of the song performed by Zoë Më, who represented Switzerland in the grand final of Eurovision 2025, held in Basel, Switzerland. Switzerland finished tenth in the final with 214 points – all awarded by the jury. Switzerland ranked second among the juries, but received last place from the public, with zero points.
Since the change in the selection process in 2019, Switzerland has consistently achieved relative success and has regularly qualified for the grand final of the contest.
Eurovision 2026: This will be Switzerland’s 66th participation in Eurovision. Switzerland joined the contest in 1956, was one of the seven founding countries, and has won three times over the years. Switzerland’s most recent victory was at the last Eurovision, 2025, with Nemo and the song “The Code”. This win follows Switzerland’s previous victory in 1988 with the song “Ne partez pas sans moi”, performed by the international singer Céline Dion.
