Janet Leon is a Swedish singer who was born in Gothenburg in 1990. She was part of the girlband Play before starting her solo career.

This year, she has taken part of the competition once again, with a song we are still playing a lot, several months after the event: "Hollow" shows a different side of her music. It's passionate and very involving.
