Biography

After the ORF brought the Austrian DJ and producer LUM!X into play to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, a singer was sought, and LUM!X came across a demo by Pia Maria. On February 8, 2022, the ORF announced that LUM!X and Pia Maria was going to represent Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song “Halo”.
