Slovenia

Anžej Dežan will represent Slovenia in Athens.

Slovenia chose its Eurovision entry for 2006 on 29 January when 14 songs competed for the votes of the public and a panel of experts. The three voting stages would determine the winner. EMA veteran Saša Lendero and her ethnic dance song "Mandoline", won both the televoting and SMS votes while in the end, the jury decided the outcome and Anžej Dežan with the song "Plan B" won the competition. In Athens, Anžej will participate with a translation of the song in english called Mr.Nobody. The song is written by Urša Vlašič and composed by Matjaž Vlašič.

18 year old Anžej Dežan born on the 17 June 1987 in Celje, will be one of the youngest performers in Athens. He was a newcomer to this year EMA, but has past experience by providing the backing vocals to Slovenian superstar Nuša Derenda's song in 2005. He originally came to fame on 'Bitka talentov,' the same talent show which discovered Slovenia's 2005 Eurovision singer Omar Naber. Anžej has already recorded a duet with EMA runner-up Saša Lendero. Anžej is a very style conscious young man, and goes through more image and hairstyle changes in a couple of years, than most people manage in a lifetime.
