TVORCHI is a dynamic and innovative Ukrainian musical group formed in Ternopil in 2016. Its first single “Slow” dropped in 2017. The following year, TVORCHI dropped its debut album “The Parts.” The band’s sophomore album, “Disco Lights” followed in 2019. The band’s third album “13 Waves” (2020) was nominated for Album of Year at the YUNA 2021 Music Awards. In December 2022, TVORCHI won Vidbir 2023 with the song “Heart of Steel”, a song inspired by the defenders of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol during the early months of the Russian invasion. TVORCHI went on to perform in the final round of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 on May 13. Moments before their performance, Russian aggressors shelled the band’s hometown. In response, members of the band held up a hand-written sign reading “Ternopil” during the voting period and encouraged Europe to continue its resistance against Russian violence. The band ended up placing sixth, earning 243 points.
