Azerbaijan's entry for Eurovision 2023 rocked the stage with the song "Tell Me More".

The duo from Zaqatala is heavily influenced by music from the '60s and '70s, which is clearly reflected in the duo's signature sound and style.

In 2022, Nadir Rustamli represented Azerbaijan at Eurovision 2022.

The singer left Eurovision fans speechless with the song "Fade To Black" co-written by Andreas Stone, Anders Rethov, Sebastian Schub, and Thomas Stengard. He came 16th, scoring 106 points.
