Swiss Songwriting Camp's Impact on Eurovision: Zoë Më Represents Switzerland with 'Voyage'

Zoë Më is set to represent Switzerland at Eurovision with her song 'Voyage,' a product of the Suisa songwriting camp. This camp, organized by the Swiss cooperative of authors and publishers of music, has become a significant force in Switzerland's Eurovision success. 'Voyage' was initiated in Scotland and completed at the Suisa camp, with contributions from Emily Middlemas (iLi) and Tom Oehler. Since 2017, eight Swiss Eurovision entries have originated from the Suisa camp, including Nemo's winning song 'The Code' from last year. Six of these entries reached the final, a notable improvement compared to pre-camp Swiss selections. Gjon's Tears, another participant, created 'Répondez-moi' and 'Tout l'univers' at the camp, achieving third place with the latter. Suisa's songwriting camps have also facilitated international collaborations, leading to songs for other countries like Germany's 'Sister' and Austria's 'Amen.' The camp aims to unite diverse musical talents, fostering unique song ideas. The process involves young talents proposing their songs to the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation for Eurovision selection. Approximately 145 songs have been created in the camps, with around 30 being published.
