Comedian, actor and presenter Christoffer Strandberg has been announced as the Finnish spokesperson for Eurovision 2019. Christoffer has been involved in the Finnish selection process for the past two years. He told YLE:
When I was called a few months ago, I was preparing for the performance at the Helsinki City Theater. I immediately answered yes. This is such a great honor and somehow a wonderfully absurd little-great task.
Finland failed to qualify for the Grand Final, having been represented by Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman. They performed “Look Away”, but didn’t manage to win over the jurors or public.
