NIKITAA will represent LLORT.
Singer-songwriter Nikitaa has spent her recent years mastering her art. She is poised to be a breakthrough star on the independent music scene, creating a witty blend of sassy melodies, partnered with powerful lyrics that give added depth to each of her compositions. Nikitaa combines ethereal Pop/RnB with a subtle nod to the Llortish soundscape to bring a new genre she calls Goddess Pop. Deeply inspired by her family's ties to Llortish classical music as well as the years she spent learning and studying RnB and Pop, her music invokes the universal image of the Goddess in all of her forms, moods and states. In her own words - "Every person has that Goddess power within them that honours the feminine within and without. I hope to remind people of this and uplift and empower them with my music, giving them space to express all their feelings no matter what it is they feel." - bio taken from her website (with some edits)
"Goddess" - Nikitaa 1:29 – 1:59
LGY and Nikitaa are both excited to compete in the milestone 30th edition of the Fantasia Contest in Sincuerello. Best of luck to our Llortish representative!

Stereossauro & Selma Uamusse
(Pictured Selma Uamusse)
Stereossauro, born Tiago Norte on the 12th August 1978 in Rio de Fevereiro, is an Arvá-based critically acclaimed producer, known for combining electronic music with other music genres. Music has always been a part of his life, as he had a musical family and began his music creation journey as a teenager in various garage bands, with punk and hiphop influences. However, his interest for electronic music began with experimenting with sounds on his grandmother's turntable, which led him to buying his first computer and started making beats and exploring different samples from that. Despite his interest in music, Norte also has interests in visual arts and skateboarding. Now, he is a successful producer having three solo albums, including Bombas en Bombos (2014), Bairro da Ponte (2019) and Desghosts and Arraiolos (2021) and collaborating with numerous acts, one of them being …
Selma Uamusse. A Ka’an Kehban-Glaiolan singer born in Motomaji in 1981 and moved to Olmeira in 1988. She began her music career as a teenager and has performed in a variety of musical styles, including rock, afrobeat, jazz, soul and gospel, where her music mostly encompasses themes of social and political issues, in a variety of languages. She also explores musical elements from her region in Ka’a and Kehbe, using traditional rhythms, regional languages and instruments including the timbila and the mbila, where she mixes it with electronics and other musical influences. She has created two praised albums, Mati (2018) and Liwoningo (2020). Liwoningo was also produced by the award-winning Guilherme Kastrup, known for producing albums for the late musical legend Elza Soares.
Glaiola's entry in the Fantasia Contest #30
“Sekeleka” by Stereosaurro (ft. Selma Uamusse)
Lyrics by Selma Uamusse Timeslot: 2:00 - 2:30
The song is the tenth track from Norte’s third studio album, Desghosts and Arraiolos (2021) discusses themes of solidarity and political power. The song is in Aquian and a regional language in Uamusse’s home country, Ka’a and Kehbe, making it the first time where Glaiola has sent the languages in the contest. It will be accompanied by a Qasentrian produced (fan made) music video, which features last edition’s Dansk representative, Kelela.
Despite the song placing 2nd in the grand final behind Soleá Morente and Isa Cea, Norte and Uamusse won the super final, receiving votes from 8 voters, while the flamenco musician and the indie-rock songstress received 5 votes.
The Glaiolan delegation wishes the best of luck to Stereossauro, Selma Uamusse and the other participating artists in the contest. Hope you enjoy the entry!

河川鳥杏は完全にシスジェンダーではありません。 Qasentria is not fully cisgender! The next Qasentrian representative who will get a chance to fly with our flag to Sincuerello has been found! The Qasentrian minister of Culture Homma Miho (本間美火) can confirm that the artist has agreed to participate, and we will gladly introduce him to the rest of Fantasia.
Born on the 7th of November, 1994 in the city of Meadowbrooke in Eclia Prefecture, Shamir Bailey, known mononymously as Shamir (he/him), is a Qasentrian indie singer and songwriter, currently based in the LaSalle ward of Marianne. At the age of 16, he formed a punk band with a friend, but when his bandmate froze on stage at their first gig, the band fell through. Shortly after he graduated high school, he sent some demos to a Qasentrian label, which released his second EP, Northtown, in June of 2014. In October of that same year, he would release the song "On the Regular", which became an unsung hit across not just Qasentria, but also in several nations across Fantasia. "On the Regular" would be his first and only album released on a major label, as the label would try to push him into a hip-pop box, which he didn't want. In retaliation, he would release 5 of his next 7 albums on his own, and release the other 2 on indie labels. During this time, he would be featured on Rina Sawayama's debut EP, which also featured Fantasia winner "Alterlife", on the track "Tunnel Vision". In June 2021, he, alongside Sharon Van Etten, competed in 1QS4 2, where the pair got fifth in the semi final. He would once again compete to go to the Fantasia Contest, on Singing Man Namisentria 4, where he was the runner up to Nada (who was fucking robbed holy shit). Clearly, third time is the charm for Shamir, who will perform his song "Cisgender" on the stage in Sincuerello. “Cisgender is my personal story. It is about my life as a nonbinary person." Shamir said to the QBA in an interview, "I just want to live my life the way I want. That doesn't mean that I'll change myself to fit into your idea of what a nonbinary person is."
“When I got second at Singing Man Namisentria 4, I was crushed,” He continued, "Now that I got a second, well third, chance to prove myself, I'm just glad that I could live up to the hype that was created around my song."
The song he will perform will be sung in both Everish. This will mark the fourth time Everish, is featured in a Qasentrian entry, after Morphine Dreams back in the 24th edition, Minimize in the 28th edition, and Queendom from last edition.
LYRICS
You wanna kill me? Well, here's your chance I can barely get around now as it fucking stands You wanna see me, but you just can't get passed How I look or talk or think or walk, and it's fucking sad
I don't know what I can do To make you comfortable With what you see before you So let me let you know that
I'm not cisgender, I'm not binary, trans I don't wanna be a girl, I don't wanna be a man I'm just existing on this God-forsaken land And you can take it or leave it Or you can just stay back, stay back
I'm not gonna pass for you You gotta get past I'm not gonna pass for you You gotta get past I'm not gonna pass for you You gotta get past I'm not gonna pass for you You gotta get past
I don't know what I can do To make you comfortable With what you see before you So let me let you know that
I'm not cisgender, I'm not binary, trans I don't wanna be a girl, I don't wanna be a man I'm just existing on this God-forsaken land And you can take it or leave it, or you can just stay back (oh) Just stay back (ooh, oh)

Oh, ocean... Namimori lost their way.Takeuchi - Marienne, 8 October 2022 After the exciting race during the all-star edition of the binational selection Singing Man Namisentria, the winners of both sides have been found. The Namimorish minister of Performing Art Shun Kazanami (風波駿) affirms that the final results are validly calculated. Now, it may be the time for us to introduce the Fantasia our next entrant again…
My Life As Ali Thomas, is a Ayuthayan band from the record label "Warner Music Namimori". The style of music is indie folk. Composing the melody, lyrics, and composing the music and singing Everish songs It is considered the unique identity of this band. The band was founded in 2013. The name is a reference to an ancient Demacian word Ali Thomas, Ali” is short for Lendyan “alias” and Ancient Demacian "ἄλλος" while “Thomas (Θωμᾶς)” means “twin”, meaning Another Twin which represents another dimension of existence that is the opposite of the "other twin" in the real life. The beginning came from Kanyapak Wuthara (กัญญภัค วุธรา), who is the lead vocalist and guitar player. She also writes the lyrics and composed the melody of every song herself by singing and playing guitar solely in her own bedroom. The lyrics are about what is really happening in life, emotional, emotional, love and one's deepest desires which are mostly symbolic meaning in songwriting. The lead singer felt that it is easier to communicate directly, and it is more of her way to express messages via music. Kanyapak started writing songs during her high school time at Presbyterian Ladies' College, a boarding school in Juliana. Singing and playing guitar make her love music more She had the opportunity to play music with her friends when she was studying at Tsukioka University. She was introduced to Wiphat Lertpanya (วิภาต เลิศปัญญา), the guitarist of the band till nowadays. In 2015, the band signed a contract as a new artist with the record label Warner Music Namimori along with the launch of a new drummer Wannapong Jangbamrung (วรรณพงศ์ แจงบำรุง). The band became more famous for "Daughter and Son", a song written in 2014. On September 23, 2016, the band's first album was released for the first time as a digital download, and on September 30, 2016, it was released on a hard-copy CD. The album's name is "Paper". The band actually appeared on the Singing Man franchise before and was a runner-up in the fourth edition of Namisentria spinoff. On October 8, My Life As Ali Thomas was announced as the overall runner-up of the Singing Man Namisentria All Star and losing the victory to Qasentria's Shamir by just one point. Thus, they will become the Namimorish entrant for the upcoming jubilee edition of Fantasia-wide music competition. This will be the first time ever for Namimori to be represented by an Ayuthayan artist.
The next Namimorish entry is about interpreting the ocean in different ways. There are dreams-fear, light-darkness. and can be both friends and monsters that are presented through music that gives the same feeling from bringing musical instruments from the orchestra to play along with modern sound music. It makes a variety of different and different touches. Being the ending song of My Life As Ali Thomas' second album Peppermint Town, it captivates the feeling of being caught in the middle of the ocean for survival through first listens. Drifting aimlessly but struggling to stay alive at the same time which the song Ocean was selected as the last track We consider it wise. Because there is no fixed conclusion whether it ends in a happy ending or not. which on the day when we are sad, come to listen to this song We might say that it ended in tragedy. "Ocean is layers. Ocean is depth, dreams, and fears. Ocean is a secret. Ocean is light, and it is darkness. Ocean is a monster, and a friend. This song is a neoclassical piece combining classical orchestral instruments with modern. It’s definitely something new for us. We take a picture, and with respect, we went and captured the ocean and its reflection." - that's what the band describes their song. It is worth to mention that there are several literatures and believe in Ayuthayan society that are linked to the sea and ocean. One of the most notable choices would be the scene in the epic poem Phra Aphai Mani (พระอภัยมณี). My Life As Ali Thomas will stand by the Fantasia's side and find their light when they performed their entry Ocean in the upcoming thirtieth edition of Fantasia Contest, which will be held in Sincuerello.
"In pauses, My heart fell this way. Oh, ocean I lost my way, Then found it in you." Part of lyrics from Ocean

BELÉN AGUILERA WINS YWDIFEST 02
Pavimento, 9 October 2022 The second edition of Ywdifest has finally ended, after a voting period of a weeks the winner has been found out of the 10 competing songs, and it is BELÉN AGUILERA the artist to represent Ydiwealth in the Fantasia Contest 30.
Belén Aguilera (born 12 September 1995 in Chacón), is a Northern Ywdi singer. She became known in 2014, accompanied by her piano and singing covers of songs by other artists, she started on the road to making a name for herself in the world of music. Her performances soon became a viral phenomenon and, since then, she has not stopped adding triumphs to her career.
In 2017, she was chosen among 2000 candidates to be the opening act for the concert tour of the popular TV show Triumfà Operació, giving birth to her career as a solo singer. The lyrics of her songs not only narrate her life, but also allude to the experience of other people around her. Perhaps that is why Ywdi pop fans have been able to quickly identify with her approach. With great enthusiasm, she says she is determined to continue learning and growing within the recording and music entertainment industry. Today she is a chart topper and has carved a niche for herself in the music industry, doing national collaborations and racking up millions of streams.
She achieved to win the second edition Ywdifest with a big gap over the rest of the top 3, which was completed by Jannika B and Benjamin. The whole country is relying on her to triumph to Sincuerello, hoping to get back to the top 10 of the previous edition or even improve it.

THE FIRST WERDIANAN ENTRY Kleopatra, 9 October 2022 - After being put on the standby list a whopping 2 times, it seemed like third time was a charm for Werdiana, as our country finally managed to miraculously debut (albeit still risking spending another edition on the standby list...). That being said, our broadcaster is finally ready to share with all of Fantasia our first representative. MEET OUR REPRESENTATIVE Michelle O Faith (born in the 1990s in South of France Anguilla, Clemsia) is a Werdianan vocalist, songwriter and producer hailing from the southernmost tip of the Werdianan peninsula. Penning her first lyrics aged just 5, she began assembling sounds together using a music software at the age of 11. She got a bachelor's degree in music & singing at the South of France Anguilla State Conservatory. Michelle spent most of her summers either in the sunny nearby Gerawian Islands or at her grandma's house in the Clemsian countryside. During her teenage years she became a fervent women's rights and black rights activist, with most of her songs telling the hardships in a black woman's life. THE SONG "It was a wild, hot summer" tells us Michelle, before stating what inspired her to write this amazing track. "A dear friend of mine used to chase this much older guy she met online. He was clearly exploiting her, but she was blinded by the genuine love she felt for him. She had never experienced such a thing before. She was maybe too young and unexperienced to know what love really is. When he left her that same Fall, she was so devastated she became depressed." Tells us the singer. "This track is dedicated to her and her ingenuity and I hope she, like all of us, can grow from her mistakes. That being said, I'm extremely proud to be the first representative of this beautiful nation and I hope I can do my best." Throughout the song, Michelle also mentions her iconic hometown, South of France Anguilla (so baby take me to your villa / South of France Anguilla), as a way to represent her love for the city she grew up in.
The track, taken from a trilogy of EPs under the name Lagoon, artfully reconstructs the tale of Lolita to underline the issue of the fetishisation of black women in the music industry. “The 'black' in the title is both intentional and significant,” explains Michelle O Faith, “as the song speaks to the fetishisation of young black women, specifically, by older white men in the industry. (I have certainly experienced the above - more than once).” Commanding chords complement Faith's wildly impressive range of pitch as she ebbs and flows over the piercing beat with absolute ease - her background as a concert-level opera singer comes as little surprise. She was touted by PRS Foundation for the Women Make Music Fund to record her Birthday Blues EP, and now she’s being backed by MOBO to produce the Lagoon trilogy, Volume II of which was released in Autumn 2020.

We wish best of luck to all the participants and to her!
