While born in Bologna, Senhit grew up between Italy and San Marino. She has had quite the international career, performing in the musicals Fame, The Lion King and Hair in Switzerland and Germany.

In 2006 she embarked on a recording career in Italy, releasing three albums and also becoming a TV personality in the country.

2020 would have been her second Eurovision attempt - she previously represented San Marino (as Senit) in 2011 but failed to qualify for the final.

Senhit was due to sing Freaky! which was chosen by the public through an online poll, in 2020 but now she is ready to try and win with a new track for 2021.

What is San Marino's's Eurovision 2021 song called?

The fun named Adrenalina is the name of the track that Senhit will be hoping nabs San Marino victory on the big night.

And if the song is not well received then there are many people who will be disappointed as this was written by so many songwriters that we need to resort to bullet points to name them all!

  • Joy Deb
  • Kenny Silverdique
  • Linnea Deb

Why was Eurovision 2020 cancelled?

The Eurovision Song Contest grand final was set to take place at the Ahoy Rotterdam Arena on Saturday 16th May, and it would have done were it not for the global pandemic that caused this shows cancellation and many others over the last twelve or so months.

Shine a Light and Eurovision Come Together aired on Saturday 16th May at 6.25pm with classic Eurovision acts performing to take the place of the main show and while we did enjoy them, there is nothing like the real thing and we'll be partying along with the acts twice as hard this year.
