Meet Australia's Eurovision 2017 representative Isaiah
Australia’s Isaiah Firebrace cut a very smart figure as he posed on the red carpet outside the Ukrainian city’s Mariinsky Park.
The 17-year-old winner of The X Factor Australia beamed at the cameras as he joined his fellow singers ahead of the grand finale this weekend.
The teenager kept things simple in a black suit and a matching shirt, as well as boots with crossover detailing on the front.
Isaiah was joined by the other 41 acts who will battle it out on Saturday in the hope of replicating Jamala’s win from last year.
