Biography
[edit source]Born in Thun to an Italian father and a Swiss mother, in 2014, Fusaro took part in the second season of The Voice of Switzerland, broadcast on the German-language channel SRF 1. Her performance of "A Night like This" by Caro Emerald earned her the approval of Stefanie Heinzmann, who accepted her into her team. Her journey continued until the Knockout stage, where she was ultimately eliminated.
In 2016, she was awarded the Demo of the Year award by the Demotape Clinic association, an accolade that caught the attention of national radio station SRF 3, which subsequently named her Best Talent of the month of May 2016. In 2018, she performed at the annual Swiss Music Awards ceremony.[1]
Fusaro rose to prominence in 2019 with the single "Rollercoaster" which, thanks also to the collaboration with the MX3 circuit, was promoted through the main radio stations of the Swiss Confederation.[2] In the same year she also participated in the Glastonbury Festival,[3][4] and was the opening artist for Mark Knopfler during the Nîmes Festival, in France. In 2023, coinciding with the release of her debut studio album All the Colors of the Sky,[5] she received the Music Prize of the city of Thun.[6]
On 20 January 2026, the Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR announced that it had internally selected Fusaro to represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, which will take place in Vienna, Austria.[7] Her entry for the contest, "Alice", was presented on 11 March.[8] She performed in Semi Final 2, and qualified with both the juries and televote, but finished in 11th place overall, failing to reach the final. Fusaro became the first Swiss representative not to qualify since 2018.
