Australia gets to choose its Eurovision entry for 2022 on Saturday 26 February.

One of this year’s Eurovision – Australia Decides entries combines the talents of Isaiah Firebrace and Evie Irie.

We know Isaiah from his attempt at bringing home the crystal from Kyiv and five years later, he wants to try again. Michael caught up with the First Nations singer and songwriter, along with his partner in crime – songwriter and singer Evie Irie. He’s an old hand and she’s pretty excited about the whole thing!

How did the duo announce the song?

What does Evie think of the whole experience?
