She may only be 17, but Esma has been outgoing from a young age. She attended theatre school aged nine and started vocal trained at 14.

Esma's taste in music is diverse - listening to jazz, rap, hip hop, and R&B as well as German, French, Arabic, Spanish and Turkish music. She takes inspiration from the legendary Aretha Franklin and contemporary singer Christina Aguilera.

Favourite Eurovision memory:

Watching Ruslana's 2004 winner 'Wild Dances' and Javine's 2005 UK entry 'Touch My Fire'.

But will she light the viewers' fire?
