About the artist: Victoria Nicole

She first got into music when she was 5 years old listening to ABBA and memorising the songs to sing herself.

Her passion for music saw her compete in The Voice Kids Portugal which she won. This earned her a place at Junior Eurovision for Portugal.

Victoria Nicole is a passionate songwriter and wrote the song Esperança herself, with music production and direction by Nininho Vaz Maia, Bárbara Tinoco and Feodor Bivo.

Esperança translates as "Hope" and features lyrics in both Portuguese and Spanish. Victoria told Junior Eurovision about the meaning behind the song.

"It's about all the dreams of all the children in the world," she said.

"We need a world to make our dreams come true."
