Ukraine at Eurovision 2023: TVORCHI with “Heart of Steel”
Jimoh Augustus Kehinde (also known as Jeffrey Kenny), 25, and Andrii Hutsuliak, 27, formed TVORCHI in 2018 while they were both students at Ternopil National Medical University. They earned the right to represent Ukraine at Eurovision 2023 by winning Vidbir 2023, scoring top marks from the voting public.
What do the “Heart of Steel” lyrics mean?
Jeffrey and Andrii started writing “Heart of Steel” after watching the Ukrainian army defend the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works from Russian aggression in Mariupol. TVORCHI are aiming to subvert narratives about sadness and despair, and instead showcase the strength of Ukraine.
“A lot of people misunderstand what we’re trying to do this year. This year there’s nothing about sadness its about strength […] Ukraine has been already more than one year fighting and standing strong, and that’s what we want to put out to the world — everyone around the world, have hearts of steel.”
“That’s what we want to inspire people with when we’re singing the song in Liverpool.”
