Mikolas Josef

This year, the Czechs have picked 22 year old Mikolas Josef as their Eurovision entry for May.  More than 400 entires were submitted and the top six entires.  These six were put before a popular vote and a professional jury and Mikolas won 53% of the vote.

Mikolas Josef began as a fashion model for Diesel and Prada at 17.  After modelling he turned to singing and songwriting.  I've heard people refer to him as the Czech Justin Bieber.

His song "Lie To Me" is a catchy tune about not getter swallowed up by negativity during tough times.  Here's the video for his song.  Good luck to him!

Update:  He placed 3rd in the first semi-final and finished in 6th place in the grand final.  That's the highest that Czechland has ever placed.
