Sofia Tarasova represented Ukraine at the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song We Are One. She finished in the runners up position that year in Kiev with her popular entry. She also won The Voice of Ukraine Junior in 2012.
Sofia recently performed on Pershyi Natsionalnyi (First Channel) tv in Ukraine her brand new single entitled Neba dozhdi (Heaven’s rain). The song has a very strong production and anthemic feel.
The national broadcaster of Ukraine, NTU, has announced their plans for the 2015 Junior Eurovision selection. Applications are now being accepted between 10 July to 24 July for young singers aged between 10 to 15 years old.
The semi-final will take place in the tv studios of NTU on 25 July. The date of the final will be announced at a later date.
Ukraine were missed a lot by fans at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. Hopefully they will be back to participate in 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden. Meanwhile it is the juniors who will take the spotlight and hope to emulate the win by Anastasiya Petryk in 2012 with Nebo.
