Friderika Bayer

In 1994 she won the Song Contest called by the Hungarian Television. The title of her winning song was: "Kinek mondjam el vétkeimet?" ("To whom can I tell my sins?"). Later that year, she represented Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, staged in Dublin. This was the first time that Hungary, along with several other eastern European countries, participated in the contest. She finished in 4th place with 122 points, which is, as of 2023, still the best result Hungary has ever achieved at the competition. Her first album came out on CD and cassette on 30 April 1994. It became a gold album in less than two months.

She was awarded the EMERTON prize by the Hungarian Radio honouring her success at the Eurovision Song Contest, and according to the votes of the music business as well as the public, in 1994 she was awarded the Golden Deer prize as Popsinger of the Year. This prize was created by Axel Springer Publications. The same year she was also billed Female Popsinger of the Year by the readers of Youth Magazine. On 25 January 1995, broadcast by TV and radio, she received the EMERTON prize (now for the second time) this time as Newcomer of the Year. In addition to this she was given the Golden Giraffe prize, created by Mahasz, in the same category.

In August 1995 she won second place at the 32nd Sopot Festival in Poland, and performed on the same stage with Annie Lennox and Chuck Berry in the Grand Finale. She became a member of the Faith Church in 1996, along with her husband, and since then they have regularly been attending the services of the Church in Budapest.

In 1998, the first single "Feltárcsáztad a szívemet" ("You dialled my heart") of her third album became the most often played radio-hit in Hungary.
