Biography
Diljá made her name by participating in the talent show Ísland Got Talent in 2015.[1] In 2020, she moved to Copenhagen, where she alternated her studies in physiotherapy with singing lessons.[2]
In January 2023, Diljá was confirmed among the 10 participants in the annual Söngvakeppnin, a festival used to select the Icelandic representative in the Eurovision Song Contest.[3] On 18 February, she presented her unreleased single "Lifandi inni í mér" during the first semi-final, and qualified for the final.[4] At the final on 4 March, she presented the English-language Eurovision version of her song, "Power". She went on to win the competition, beating Langi Seli og Skuggarnir in the superfinal, making her the Icelandic representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool.[5] "Lifandi inni í mér" reached the 6th position of the Icelandic chart, while "Power" was placed 1st.[6]
