Evangelos Theodorou (born 17 May 2001, Greek: Ευάγγελος Θεοδώρου), known professionally as Theo Evan, is a Greek Cypriot singer-songwriter, dancer and actor. He is set to represent Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland.

Career

Born in Nicosia to a Greek-Cypriot family, he spent his youth in dance sessions, singing in his school choir. He has been a singer and dancer since the age of seven, and he began songwriting in his teens. Evan also performed in a wide variety of theatre productions and talent shows across Cyprus like all the kids in his age, often earning awards and distinctions for his efforts.

After graduating from The English School in Nicosia, Evan moved to the United States to study music and performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, which he later graduated with honors. Since then, he has been invited back as an honorary guest at the university’s graduation ceremony on three occasions, alongside other artists such as Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, and Justin Timberlake. In 2021, he released his debut single "The Wall". Evan also made an appearance as an extra in the second season of the American television series Euphoria. After a short stay in Los Angeles, he returned to his hometown to continue his music career.

On 2 September 2024, it was announced that he would represent Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. This will be the first time since 2017 that Cyprus is represented by a Cypriot-born artist.

Artistry

Evan's artistry is described as "inspired by everything from Stromae to Michael Jackson to reggaeton". His music style is further described as a "mainstream blend of Mediterranean pop, infused with dark and gritty tones, complemented by a fresh, contemporary pop fusion".
