Satoshi (real name: Vlad Sabajuc) is a Moldovan musician and singer-rapper who, in recent years, has established himself both locally and internationally through the release of several successful singles, collaborations with various artists, and music videos that have amassed millions of views across social media and digital platforms.

In 2026, he decided to try his hand at Eurovision for the first time, competing in Moldova’s national selection “Selecția Națională 2026” with the song “Viva, Moldova” a patriotic work combining a message of national unity with aspirations for European integration through music, aiming to represent Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.

Within the public discourse surrounding the national selection, Satoshi was regarded as one of the standout contenders. He received significant attention not only for the song’s energy and compelling performance, but also due to statements made on social media that sparked discussion about the boundary between political expression and participation in an international music competition.

This marks the first time Satoshi has officially participated in Moldova’s Eurovision national selection, as well as his debut involvement in the Eurovision selection process overall.
