Who is Look Mum No Computer? UK's Electro Artist Aims to End Eurovision Drought
The United Kingdom has selected an unconventional entry for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, hoping to end a 29-year winning drought. The performer, known as Look Mum No Computer, is the stage name of Sam Battle, a 37-year-old YouTuber and electro musician from Lincolnshire. Battle gained fame by creating unusual instruments from vintage technology, such as Furby organs and Game Boy synthesizers, and maintains a museum in Ramsgate. His entry, titled 'Eins, Zwei, Drei,' features a quirky chorus with German and English lyrics, described by critics as both embarrassing and charming. Battle asserts he takes the competition seriously, despite his comedic online persona, and constructed a custom 'mega synth' for the performance. The UK last won Eurovision in 1997 with Katrina and the Waves. This year's selection represents a strategic shift towards the contest's tradition of celebrating eccentric and catchy performances, aiming to appeal to international voters with its unique electronic sound and visual spectacle.
