The first estimates talk about Erika Vikman where it seems that she meets the conditions. Erika Vikman is a 31 year old Finnish singer and songwriter from Tampere. She started her professional career in 2013, participating in the seventh edition of Finnish Idols and reaching seventh place. After leaving Idols, Erika Vikman established herself as a Finnish tango singer. In 2015 she participated in Tangomarkkinat, where she finished second and a year later she returned and was crowned winner in 2016. After the competition, Vikman signed a record deal with Sony Music and released her first single “Ettei mee elämä hukkaan”.
In 2020, Erika Vikman signed with Warner Music Finland and was confirmed by Finland’s broadcaster Yle to compete at UMK 2020, with the song “Cicciolina” and came in second place. Despite peaking at number two, the song went on to become a big hit in Finland, reaching the top five singles of the year.
After the success of “Cicciolina”, the next single “Synsten pöytä” was later released, which became for the second year the top single of the year and later the first number one radio hit. Also in 2020, he placed third in the first season of Masked Singer Suomi, competing as “The Wasp”.
