Family Pride as UK Eurovision Contestant Prepares for Final

The sister of the United Kingdom's Eurovision Song Contest entrant has expressed immense pride as her brother prepares to perform in the contest's final round.

Known professionally as Look Mum No Computer, Sam Battle, who was raised in Yaxley near Peterborough, is set to take the stage in Vienna this Saturday.

The musician will compete against 24 other countries in the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

"Sam's always been destined for something massive, and I'm so happy that he's finally been given the opportunity for the world to see how unbelievably talented he is as an individual,"
said Jodie Bartle, his sister.

Battle, originally named Sam Bartle before adopting his stage name, has gained recognition for the unique electronic instruments he constructs.

His creations have included blending the sounds of organ pipes with numerous Furby toys and vintage handheld Game Boy consoles.

Early in his career, he performed throughout Cambridgeshire, both as a solo artist and as a member of bands such as Yellow Snow and Zibra, which brought him to the attention of BBC Introducing.

Battle will perform his electro-pop anthem "Eins, Zwei, Drei" just weeks after becoming a father to his son, Max.

"He's got a five-week-old baby at the moment that in the future is going to be able to say 'my dad's done Eurovision', which is absolutely epic,"
Jodie added.

Songwriting and Performance Preparation

In an interview with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire presenter Dotty McLeod, Battle revealed that it took approximately 12 hours to write the song he will perform.

"I am just going to try my hardest for the UK, for me and my mates and family,"
he stated.

Jodie expressed her hopes for her brother's experience at Eurovision.

"All I want for him to just enjoy it,"
she said.

"We're proud of him no matter what [and] he should be proud of himself as well and the song I think is good enough to get points and just hopefully the world also agrees with that."
