Ireland’s Jessica McKean has taken to the stage at the Junior Eurovision 2023 in Nice, France and put on a top-class performance.
Ten-year-old Jessica hails from St Johnston, Co Donegal and she is the youngest singer to represent Ireland. Her Junior Eurovision experience isn’t the first time she’s taken to the stage, having won a singing competition at her first Féis aged three. You can watch Jessica on stage at the Junior Eurovision below
Jessica’s song ‘Aisling’, is written by Niall Mooney who also wrote Niamh Kavanagh’s, It’s for You, as well as numerous other Junior Eurovision entries. Sixteen countries are competing in this event, which is currently live on TG4. The results are expected shortly after 5pm.
The young performer also featured on RTÉ’s Donncha’s Two Talented singing I Love You Honey by Patsy Cline, and has won numerous competitions, cups and medals since.
