From Furby organs, to Lego drum machines, to lightsaber theremins, Look Mum No Computer’s Sam Battle lives by the ethos of his project name; the Kent-based solo artist laughs in the face of digital emulation, inventing experimental electronics to craft his unique world of electronic tunes. Now, he’s set to take his eccentric sound to Eurovision.

Chosen to represent the United Kingdom at the 70th Eurovision Song Content this May, Look Mum No Computer has gained traction posting his whacky musical antics on YouTube. Now, Battle is hoping his bedroom creations are enough to impress judges across Europe.

“I find it completely bonkers to be jumping on this wonderful and wild journey,” he tells the BBC. “I have always been a massive Eurovision fan, and I love the magical joy it brings to millions of people every year, so getting to join that legacy and fly the flag for the UK is an absolute honour that I am taking very seriously.”

“I’ve been working a long-time creating, writing, and producing my own visions from scratch, and documenting my process,” he adds. “I will be bringing every ounce of my creativity to my performances, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear and see what we’ve created.”

While Battle’s track is yet to be revealed, he does promise one thing: “I hope Eurovision is ready to get synthesised!”

The track in question is set to debut in the next few weeks on BBC Radio 2, followed by an exclusive interview on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, says: “We are absolutely thrilled to have Look Mum No Computer representing the UK at Eurovision in Vienna in 2026. His bold vision, unique sound and electric performance style make him a truly unforgettable artist. Look Mum No Computer embodies everything the UK wants to celebrate on the Eurovision stage – creativity, ambition, and a distinctly British wit.”

Elsewhere, Suzy Lamb, the Managing Director at BBC Studios Entertainment, also shares her excitement: “We are incredibly excited that Look Mum No Computer will represent the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. He is a genuinely original artist whose creativity and enormous love for Eurovision perfectly capture the spirit of the competition.”

“Our team at BBC Studios worked to find something very different musically and Look Mum No Computer really stood out. From his innovative approach to music-making to the strong connection he has built with audiences online, he brings a unique energy to his performances that we can’t wait for Eurovision fans around the world to experience in May.”
