Giga Kukhiandze is the man with the golden touch when it comes to Junior Eurovision. His songwriting is phenomenal and he has recorded three wins for Georgia at this fabulous competition. First up he won in 2008 with the group Bzikebi and Bzzz…, then we had the fabulous and funky all girl band, Group Candy and Candy Music then in 2016 with the beautiful Mzeo by Mariam Mamadishvili.

We can thank Giga for a lot of the incidental music for the 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest and for making it so memorable. He has composed the opening song for the kids and also for the hosts Lizi Pop and Helen Kalandadze.

Giga also composed a song for The Virus which is part of the interval entertainment. Giga has also composed the Georgian JESC entries by Mariam Kakhelishvili and Mari-Dari, 2012 The Funkids and Funky Lemonade, 2013 The Smile Shop and Give Me Your Smile, 2014 Lizi Pop sang Happy Day and in 2015 The Virus gave us Gabede.

Going by the wonderful success of Giga and his team at Bzikebi studios at the Junior Eurovision maybe it is time for Georgia to consider him to be involved at the adult Eurovision Song Contest.
