Klavdia Papadopoulou (Greek: Κλαυδία Παπαδοπούλου; born 18 August 2002),[1] known mononymously as Klavdia, is a Greek singer. She is set to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Asteromata".
She is of Pontic descent.[2][3]
Musical career
[edit]Klavdia rose to prominence in 2017, at the age of 15, when she auditioned for the fifth season of Greece's Got Talent performing Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean".[4] In 2018, she took part in the fifth season of The Voice of Greece on Skai TV. During the auditions, she performed the song "Roxanne" by the Police, winning the approval of all four judges, and becoming part of Helena Paparizou's team.[5][6] She continued her journey until the final stage of the program, but failed to qualify for the final three.[7]
Shortly after her experience on the talent show, Klavdia signed a record deal with the Greek label Panik Records, with which she released her first singles, including "Haramanta", certified double platinum by IFPI Greece for 40,000 units, and "Vasanizomai".[8][6] In late 2022, she applied to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Despite being selected among the finalists,[9] Greece's public broadcaster ended up choosing Victor Vernicos as the national representative in Liverpool.[10] In 2024, she released her self-titled debut EP Klavdia.
On 10 January 2025, Greek broadcaster ERT announced Klavdia as one of the participants in Ethnikos Telikos, the new selection to decide Greece's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Asteromata".[11][12] The national selection, which took place on 30 January at the Christmas Theatre in Galatsi, saw Klavdia perform as the fifth contestant out of twelve. Thanks to her performance, she won first place in the overall vote of the international juries and televoting, thus triumphing in the singing competition and earning the honor of representing Greece on the Eurovision stage in Basel.[5]
