Who is Nadir Rustamli? Meet The Singer On The Eurovision 2022 Finals
Nadir Rustamli is a singer representing Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy.
After Nadir placed second in the International Youth Vision competition in 2018, his friends played a joke on him and applied for The Voice of Azerbaijan 2021 on his behalf. Nadir, never one to turn down a challenge, accepted it.
Although Eurovision was not on his mind during his time on The Voice of Azerbaijan, fate had other plans. Eldar Gasimov, the Eurovision 2011 winner, mentored him on the show.
Rustamli won the show earlier this year in January by a landslide with a televote percentage of 42.6%.
On the 16th of February 2022, he was informed live on television that he would be representing Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.
