Liene Atvara

For years, she stayed in the background—writing, creating, and searching more than she was seen. Music has been her companion since childhood, guided by a mother whose presence encouraged her even when confidence faltered. She wrote for others, quietly present in the industry but never at its center. Then came two transformative years, when years of work finally came to light. This Latvian Television documentary follows Liene Atvara’s journey from her first musical steps to the grandest European stage: Eurovision Song Contest.

The Eurovision Song Contest is an international song competition, organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and featuring participants representing primarily European countries. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, transmitted to national broadcasters via the EBU's Eurovision and Euroradio networks, with competing countries then casting votes for the other countries' songs to determine the winner.

Supernova is a Latvian music entertainment show created by the Latvian broadcaster, LTV. It is currently used as the Latvian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.

This is the official podcast of the Eurovision Song Contest. Host and music journalist Steve Holden talks with famous guests, but also with the singers and artists who will compete for the title in May.
