Senhit
Senhit Zadik, stage name Senhit, is no stranger to Eurovision as she represented San Marino back in 2011 with the song Stand By. Even though the juries had her as a qualifier and ranked in 8th place, due to the low televoting result she unfortunately failed to qualify.
She is a 40-years-old Italian singer born in Bologna who rose to fame in the early 2000s with her self-titled album, "Senit" (2006). Two more albums were released in the upcoming three years.
Besides her solo singing career, Senit is known for taking part in musicals such as "Fame" or "The Lion King" in Switzerland and Germany.
San Marino in Eurovision Song Contest
San Marino is one of the newest – and smallest Eurovision countries.
They have been participating ten times since their first Eurovision Song Contest in 2008. But not with great succes. In eight out of the ten participations they didn't manage to qualify for the Grand Final. San Marino qualified for the Grand Final two times: In 2014 and 2019. The worst results were in 2017 and 2008, where they came last in their Semi-final.
