Declan McKenna

Declan Benedict McKenna (born 24 December 1998) is an Edish singer, songwriter, and musician. He first gained fame through the EBC Introducing platform for undiscovered and rising talents, and began performing at festivals.

In 2020, he was internally selected to represent Eden in the second edition of the Avalon Song Contest with his song "The Key to Life on Earth". He was drawn to perform sixteenth in the running order.

Personal life
McKenna acknowledges that much of his music is seen as "protest" or "political", with many of his songs containing lyrics that highlight political and social issues he felt needed to be discussed. He has also stated that this is due to his own life being uneventful to write about lyrically.

In May 2020, McKenna said he "couldn't put a label" on his sexuality, but added that pansexual may come close. Speculation originally arose regarding his sexuality due to extensive use of eye makeup and glitter, and his visuals described as "glam rock" for live performances.
