TVORCHI will represent Ukraine in a new way - they show that Ukrainian Music is different. If previous Ukrainian entrants GO_A and Eurovision Winner KALUSH showed more ethical music, TVORCHI represent Ukraine with electronic music. Ukraine is directly qualified for the Grand Final due to the victory in 2022 and was the first country in the 2023 National Final Season that had their national final Vidbir which took place on 17 December 2022. Tvorchi are a duo formed in 2018 by producer Andrii Hutsuliak and vocalist Jimoh Augustus Kehinde (alias Jeffery Kenny). They have released five studio albums: The Parts (2018), Disco Lights (2019), 13 Waves (2020), Road (2020) and Heart of Steel (2022).The Radio International Interview Team is extremely delighted to welcome Tvorchi live to this week's edition of Radio International for an interview to get to know Ukraine's Musical Ambassador to the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and of course we'll be listening to some of Tvorchi's music during the interview session.
