Musti, who will represent Belgium at Eurovision 2024, received over 1,000 responses to an open call he organized last week.
The singer revealed on January 11 that the song for Eurovision 2024 is almost complete, but he is looking for a choir to sing the final part of the song. For this reason, Musti asked members of the public to record.
The call received over a thousand files, both audio and video. “It’s completely crazy and emotional,” Musti’s manager Laurent Walchot told Les Soires newspaper.
Now, it remains to sort out all these voices. This is producer Toby Spelleman’s mission. Laurent Walshot admits:
“He has a few days left and plans to finish by Monday. The process is simple: he uses the bass he recorded with the first choir and incorporates it into the five existing versions of the song. . New audio is seamlessly combined into a single file, and anything that’s unusable is discarded. Even if you’re singing out of key, it won’t be noticeable. The final compilation will look like Lana Del Rey , Keene and Moby, mixer Dan Gretsch-Margerat. The public can expect the results to be announced around mid-February.”
By submitting files, participants agreed to waive any rights to their images and sounds.
This is not the first time a Eurovision artist has asked members of the public to provide backing vocals for a Eurovision entry. Daji Frail used recordings from the public in his 2021 entry “10 Years.”

Belgium was one of the first seven countries to take part in the first edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. The country has only ever won the contest once, in 1986. Sandra Kim won the contest with the song “J’aime la vie.” ”. Her victory sparked controversy as it was revealed that Sandra was 13 years old, two years younger than the age limit at the time. In the late 2000s, Belgium failed to reach the finals every year from 2005 to 2010. Although it was a tough match, Tom Dice finished in 6th place in the final with 143 points. Belgium finished last six times in the tournament, two of which resulted in forfeited sets.
