You can find details on the entry, the artist, and the history of Georgia at Junior Eurovision below.

About the artist: Andria Putkaradze

Andria Putkaradze is 11 years old and hails from the seaside city of Batumi.

Andria loves singing and began at just two years old and one day hopes to be a successful singer. Andria also plays the piano. At the age of six, he joined a singing group called 'Sons of the Sea'.

About the song: To My Mum

The song To My Mum was composed by Giga Kukhianidze and Maka Davitaya. Giga Kukhianidze has written the majority of Georgia's Junior Eurovision songs including the nation's three wins in 2008, 2011 and 2016.

The song is sung in Georgian, and when the lyrics are translated into English, they are particularly poetic. The ballad has big vocals from Andria, which are accompanied by orchestral backing with almost a Disney vibe.

Andria Putkaradze won the national section, Ranina in May 2024, however there was a delay in the announcement of Andria to represent Georgia. Ranina is the same format Georgia has used now for seven seasons. Held over five shows, a jury awards points for the following four criteria: vocals, performance, collaboration and artistry. Andria was one of three singers to make it to the last stage.

To My Mum was later released on 13 October 2024.

Georgia in the Eurovision Song Contest

Georgia has competed at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 17 times and is one of the most successful countries at Junior Eurovision, having won the competition three times in 2008, 2011 and 2016. Songwriter Giga Kukhianidze really is the powerhouse behind the success of Georgia at the Junior Contest, and he is responsible for this year's entry also.

Georgia has finished in the top 10 an impressive 14 times. Last year, Georgia finished in 14th place with the song Over the Sky.
