Fresh from Eurovision victory, Nemo claims two major awards at the Swiss Music Awards, winning 'best single' for 'The Code' and 'best solo act' at the Zurich ceremony.
"The award was like a declaration of love"
"Competing against Patent Ochsner is like playing football against the Brazilian national team: winning is not impossible, but very unlikely"
Fresh from their historic Eurovision victory, Swiss sensation Nemo has achieved another remarkable milestone by securing two major awards at the prestigious Swiss Music Awards ceremony in Zurich. The artist claimed victory in both the 'best single' category for their hit song 'The Code' and was crowned 'best solo act', further cementing their position as Switzerland's leading musical talent of 2024-2025.
The annual Swiss Music Awards, Switzerland's most prestigious music prize ceremony, featured fourteen diverse categories celebrating excellence in both national and international music. Nemo's remarkable achievement of securing two wins out of four nominations highlighted their dominance in the Swiss music industry. The ceremony recognized outstanding achievements across various platforms, including live performances, streaming success, and social media impact.

Nemo's continued success following their Eurovision triumph demonstrates the potential for Swiss artists to achieve both international recognition and domestic acclaim.
