Antigoni: I’m Cypriot — and I carry Cyprus in my heart! (Eurovision 2026 Interview)
Cyprus’ Eurovision 2026 queen Antigoni joins us for her first interview since being confirmed as the island’s representative — and she’s bringing pride, passion and pure dance-floor energy. 🇨🇾✨
The former Love Island star tells us she wants to create a feel-good, movement-making song for Vienna. She also responds directly to criticism about not being “Cypriot enough,” opening up about her deep family roots. Among other things, her grandmother was born in Cyprus, she speaks Greek and her mother Tonia Buxton hosted My Cypriot Kitchen.
“I am Cypriot. If you watched me on Love Island, the first thing I said was: ‘I’m Antigoni, I’m Greek-Cypriot and I’m a singer.’ That is who I am in essence. I carry my Cyprus flag in my heart and everywhere with me.”
Antigoni also spills the tea on:
🐍 Singing alongside a giant snake in the “Habibi” music video

💛 The biggest lesson from Love Island: authenticity
🇨🇾 Why she’s proud to represent her “tiny island” and wants to educate the world about it Hit play and fall in love with Cyprus’ 2026 star. 💫
