Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, we had the opportunity to speak to KAJ, who will represent Sweden.
We spoke with KAJ in Basel after their rehearsals on the Eurovision stage about how their lives have changed since winning Melodifestivalen and building a community of fans. As well as the questions they would ask themselves and whether they have dared dream of winning Eurovision.
Thank you KAJ for your time, and good luck for next week!

Sweden debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1958 and has gone on to be one of the contest’s most successful countries. The country has won the contest seven times, the most recent being in 2024. Sweden’s first victory came in 1974 when ABBA won the contest in Brighton with “Waterloo”. Since missing out on the final in 2010, Sweden has gone on to finish 3rd twice and has won the contest twice. Only in 2013 did the country place outside of the top 10 in the final.
