Career

The duo was founded especially to represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev. The song Amar (“Lieben”), which contains both Portuguese and English-language lines, did not have to survive a preliminary decision , it was selected internally by the Portuguese broadcaster RTP .

In Kiev, the duo had to start in the semifinals, as Sofia Vitória did not make it to the final in 2004. There it only reached a 17th place and therefore could not qualify for the final on the following Saturday.

Drumond later won the second season of the casting show The Voice Portugal . He received a recording deal with Universal and released his solo debut Parte de Mim in 2014 .
