Slovenian rock group Joker Out stands as the foremost name in the emerging music scene of the region. Within just a few seasons, this band has impressively captured the hearts of Slovenians and is now poised for a grand journey across Europe and the world. The quintet, comprising Kris, Bojan, Jure, Jan, and Nace, has unveiled two albums to date - "Umazane Misli" and "Demoni." Their remarkable dynamism, distinctive visual identity, and commanding musical prowess have duly earned them two consecutive accolades for Slovenian Artist of the Year in 2021 and 2022, along with an award for Song of the Year. They have been acknowledged on the IMPALA list of 100 artists expected to shine in 2023. Furthermore, they have garnered multiple Zlata piščal awards, Slovenia's equivalent of the Grammy, in the categories of Performer and Emerging Talent of the Year. Additionally, they have secured a nomination at the MAC Awards for the Best Regional Ex-Yugoslavian Rock Act. Since their inception in 2016, the band's meteoric rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. In a significant turn of events this year, the Slovenian national television internally selected them as their representatives for the Eurovision Song Contest. Here, they swept across the continent with their chart-topping hit, "Carpe Diem." This marked the beginning of an international odyssey that sets them apart from any other artist in this region.
