Every year, one of the finalists in the music competition program P4 Next receives an offer to perform at the Melodifestivalen.
This year's final was broadcast in Västerås Concert Hall on Saturday night - and of the eight finalists who participated, the one that Melodifestivalen's competition producer Karin Gunnarsson got hooked on Julia Alfrida:
- Julia Alfrida feels like a young, exciting artist who pushes boundaries and norms both musically and with her personality.
It feels very fun to give her the opportunity to reach a large audience.
The next step will be to find the right song for the Melodifestivalen together with Julia, says Karin Gunnarsson in a press release.
The competitors in the Melodifestivalen will be announced later this autumn. A total of 28 entries compete.
