Theo Evan was the first Eurovision 2025 artist to be announced, and after months of waiting his song has been revealed. He’ll take the Eurovision stage in Basel with “Shh”
As the final songs get released this week, Cyprus has officially unveiled theirs after months of anticipation.
Back in early September Cypriot broadcaster CyBC announced that Theo Evan would have the honor of representing the country at Eurovision 2025. Since then, it had been speculated on when the song would be released. Now a little over six months later, the wait is finally over.
Theo Evan will take the Eurovision stage with the song “Shh.” The song is available on all streaming platforms, with the music video out on YouTube as well.
“Shh” was written and composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos, Elke Tiel, Elsie Bay, Lasse Nymann, and Linda Dale.
Theo Evan will perform “Shh” during the second half of Semi-final 1 on 13 May, and looks to continue the current two-year qualification streak to the Grand Final.
Theo Evan
Evangelos Theodorou (Ευάγγελος Θεοδώρου), better known by stage name Theo Evan, was born in Nicosia.
He’s been a singer and dancer since the age of seven, and a songwriter since his teen years. This meant his early years were spent taking dancing classes, participating in school choirs, and acting in a range of theater performances and talent events throughout Cyprus.

Evan relocated to the United States to attend the legendary Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts to study music and performance. This opened many doors for him, leading to him releasing his first single “The Wall” in 2021.
Theo was even an extra on the hit HBO TV show Euphoria for the seventh episode of season two.
Currently, there are seven other tracks on his discography. His musical sound has been inspired by artists like Stromae and Michael Jackson, with hints of reggaeton and Mediterranean-pop vibes complimented by fresh, contemporary pop-fusion. Meanwhile, songs like “BURN US DOWN” and “DARK SIDE” incorporate more dark and gritty elements.
Cyprus in the Eurovison Song Contest
Since Cyprus debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981, the country has not yet managed to win in any of the 40 times the country has participated.
Cyprus came close to winning in 2018 when Eleni Foureira finished 2nd with Fuego, their best result so far.
Since the introduction of the Semi-finals in 2004, Cyprus has qualified for 12 out of 19 Grand Finals.
