Eden Golan (Template:Lang-he; born 5 October 2003) is an Israeli singer.[1][2] She began her career by taking part in the Russian selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015, and afterwards in the Russian television competition The Voice Kids. She is representing Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Hurricane".

Early life

Eden Golan was born in Kfar Saba, Israel. Both her parents were born in the Soviet Union to families of Jewish heritage. Golan's mother is of Ukrainian-Jewish descent[3] and her father is of Latvian-Jewish descent. Her grandfather, Yuri Golan (formerly Glagolev), graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and worked for the newspaper Soviet Youth.[4] Golan has a younger brother, Sean. She holds dual Israeli and Russian citizenship.[5]

When Golan was six years old, she and her parents moved to Russia due to her father's work. They resided in Moscow. The family lived in Russia for 12 years. According to Golan, she had mixed feelings about her time living in Russia, and that while she started her music career there, she was also uncomfortable due to frequent manifestations of antisemitism.[6] Golan and her parents moved back to Israel in 2022;[7] the immediate cause of the move was the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but according to Golan, her family would have done so regardless.[6]

Career

In 2015, Golan took part in the Russian selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015. She finished fifth in the final, scoring 22 points, eight fewer than the eventual winner Mikhail Smirnov. In 2016, when Eden was 12 years old, she performed in the children's edition of the New Wave competition, which was held at the Artek camp in Russian-occupied Crimea,[nb 1] including performing her song "Howl at the Moon" in a duet with Nyusha. In 2018, Golan was a finalist in the fifth season of the show The Voice Kids, representing Pelageya's team.[10] She collaborated with Yinon Yahel.[11] After her return to Israel, in 2022, Golan participated in the season 2 finale of Ro'im et Hakol and was eliminated in the first round.

In preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation decided to return to selecting the country's representative for the competition through cooperation with the Keshet 12 channel and the talent show Rising Star.[12] Golan won all stages of the show, performing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for the final. She ultimately won both the jury and public vote, becoming the Israeli representative for the contest.[13][14] Her competing entry for the contest, selected at a later stage, is titled "Hurricane".[15] Her song qualified for the final on 11 May.[16]
