Support Albert and vote for Armenia. Voting for Junior Eurovision 2025 takes place online via jesc.tv and is available worldwide, including from Armenia. Viewers must select three countries for their vote to count, with Armenia able to be one of them. Voting resumes after all performances conclude.
“Brave Heart,” Armenia’s entry for Junior Eurovision 2025, was released approximately one month ahead of the contest along with its accompanying animated music video. The contest is broadcast live on Public Television, and the song has since become the most viewed entry of this year’s competition, surpassing 1.2 million views on the official Junior Eurovision YouTube channel.
Albert Armenakyan was selected to represent Armenia through a competition announced earlier by the Public Television Company, which received more than 80 applications. Following the decision of an expert panel composed of leading local and international specialists, he was chosen as the best candidate.
The jury that selected Armenia’s representative consisted of Davit Tserunyan, head of the Armenian Eurovision delegation; Anna Tadevosyan, creative producer of the Public Television Company; singers Aram MP3 and Zhako; director Artur Manukyan; songwriter Lilit Navasardyan; and songwriter and music producer Nick Egibyan. The opinions of a focus group composed of international experts were also taken into account.
Albert became widely recognized in September after performing the cherished Armenian folk song “Dle Yaman” on The Voice Kids France 2025, where his emotional performance brought French-Armenian judge Patrick Fiori to tears. The appearance resonated with millions of viewers, introduced Armenian musical heritage to a global audience, and was followed by a duet of “Dle Yaman” alongside his coach Patrick Fiori, further elevating his international profile.
Albert has been singing since the age of 6, turning music into a means of expression beyond words. Since 2018, he has closely followed Eurovision, and for the past three years has worked toward fulfilling his goal of participating in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
