ORF decided on another internal selection and released the song Who the He’ll is Edgar on the 8th March. The song is a catchy little number written by Teya and Selena in collaboration with Ronald Janeček and Pele Loria
Theodora Spirić: now known professionally as Teya and formerly as Thea Devy, is a is an Austrian Serbian singer and songwriter. In 2018, Špirić released her debut single "Waiting For". At the end of 2019, she applied to represent Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with the song "Judgement Day. She was one of three shortlisted , but was not selected as the Austrian representative. She submitted the song to Beovizija 2020, the Serbian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, under the title "Sudnji dan". Her parents had translated the song into Serbian She was selected to participate in the competition and qualified for the final, where she finished in tenth place with 4 points.
In 2021, Špirić went on to participate in Starmania She made it to the top eight contestants, but was eliminated before the final. She released the single "Runaway (Stay)" with Croatian singer Ninski, using the stage name Teya.
She met Salena on Starmania. They decided to enter Who the Hell is Edgar, their song written at a songwriting camp in the Czech Republic. Salena has also competed on the Voice of Germany. After seeing Conchita on stage, it became Selina’s dream to participate at Eurovision.
Selina states that their song is a snapshot of the fun they had writing it, and it started with wanting to convey what it feels like, when a good song is made.She further said that sometimes creativity just rushes through, and it seems you are possessed by a ghost.
Teya said that they wanted to pack their personal experiences as songwriters in the song.
It often felt like they have to keep proving themselves to be taken seriously. She ends up stating that by presenting Edgar Allan Poe as the writer of the song, they wanted to draw attention to that part of the music industry.in her own words, it’s all satire.
It is a catchy , fun song., great to dance to. Fingers crossed for Teya and Selina.
