About

Oscar Zia (born 10 October 1996 in Svedala) is a Swedish singer, songwriter and TV host of Italian descent. He first caught national attention on the Swedish X Factor in 2012, then released his debut album I Don't Know How to Dance in 2014, which reached number three on the Swedish charts. His Melodifestivalen entry 'Human' (2016) finished runner-up and went platinum in Sweden, and he has since become a familiar face as host of the competition - most recently announced as co-host for Melodifestivalen 2027.
