The casting session to choose singers for Switzerland’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens was held between 25 and 27 November in the Olympia Studios in Munich.

The organisers’ aim was to find singers with the winning combination of voice and personality. Rather than setting out to create a “boy or girl band”, they were looking for six soloists – six strong voices – to represent Switzerland in Athens.

Producer and composer Ralph Siegel, along with those in charge of Eurovision at Swiss national broadcaster SRG SSR idée suisse, ultimately selected six artists from six different countries.

One of the six soloists comes from Malta: Keith Camilleri. A regular guest on Maltese TV shows Keith enjoys much popularity in his country and travels around the world in pursuit of his dream to become an internationally famous artist. In February 2004, he took part in the Maltese national Eurovision Song Contest heats, coming an excellent fourth with the song Tango for two. Keith again enjoyed musical success this year with the track Sunshine in your eyes and has also participated in a project, performing with Robbie Facchinetti of the world famous group “I Pooh” in Italy.
