ARMENIA – The Public TV Company of Armenia is pleased to announce that after a careful internal selection process Rosa Linn was chosen to represent Armenia at this yearโs Eurovision Song Contest.
The 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer, was born and raised in Vanadzor, Armenia. She has been fond of music since childhood and started her professional career with the record label โNvak Collectiveโ.
In her own words, Rosa says:
โFrom the outside looking in, the odds seemed like they were against me – an unknown girl from a small town in Armenia. But the power of manifestation is real when it is combined with hard work; persistence; and just putting oneself out there. Iโm excited to let people into my inner world through my music. And Iโm beyond honoured to be able to represent my beloved country on the biggest stage in Europe.โ
According to Executive Director of Public TV, Hovhannes Movsisyan, the First Channel faced a difficult choice. However, a decision was made to give a chance to a young artist to represent Armenia.
โThe Armenian representatives in Eurovision have usually been famous artists in the past, but this international contest is also a great platform to discover new talent and to give them a chance of self-realization. We are thrilled to be back and reunite with the Eurovision family with new talent,โ says Movsisyan.
David Tserunyan, the head of the Armenian delegation at the Eurovision Song Contest says:
โTogether with local and international focus groups, which included both professionals and fans of the contest, we have reviewed several applications from well-known, as well as new-coming artists. As a result, 21-year-old Rosa Linn was selected to represent Armenia in Eurovision 2022: a small-town girl with a big heart and her own story. Our team is at the final stage of the production and weโre excited to share this story with the Eurovision community and the world.โ
Rosa Linnโs song and music video will premiere on March 19.
