A possible contender for victory in the international song contest "Intervision" is singer Wang Xi, who represents China. He is already popular in his native country and is striving to expand his horizons. About the biography and creative path of the musician — in the material of Izvestia.

Biography of Wang Xi

Wang Xi, also known as Elvis Wang, was born on April 15, 1985 in Liaoning Province. Since adolescence, he has been practicing academic vocals under the guidance of an experienced teacher. Xi graduated from Liaoning College of the Arts with a degree in Pop Vocals, then continued his studies at the Shenyang Conservatory, where he completed a bachelor's degree in performing arts.

During his studies and later, Wang Xi sang in an ensemble and was a soloist for the People's Liberation Army Naval Political Administration. In addition to vocals, the artist mastered the bass guitar and performed in a musical group.

Career and creativity

The performer actively participated in various contests and television shows, which helped him gain recognition from both the audience and music industry professionals.

Wang Xi has about twenty wins in prestigious music competitions. Among them is an award at the 8th Chinese Golden Bell Music Award and a victory in the XV National Competition of Young Singers of the major CCTV television channel in the Popular Music category. He also took part in the music shows "I am a singer" and "Supergolos".

Wang Xi has seven mini-albums in his discography, and three of them — Unspoken, Temptation of Low C and Ode — have become the most popular and are considered the hallmarks of the artist.

Wang Xi is a polyglot and can sing in several languages. His repertoire includes recordings of hits in English, such as Come to Me and When Love Has Been Things. In 2016, he performed his version of the famous Besame Mucho song in Spanish. In addition, his work includes opera parts performed in Italian.

And on March 26, 2012, he sang at a meeting between Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and Xi Jinping at the Diaoyutai State Guest House. In March 2014, he participated in the recording of the theme song "Spring" for the 10th anniversary of the CCTV channel. In addition to his musical activities, Wang Xi sometimes acts in films, which makes him a multifaceted artist.

His vocals combine academic rigor and modern musical motifs, making him one of the most expressive performers on the modern Chinese stage. And for his deep, velvety voice and performance style, Wang Xi is called "the second Elvis" in China. In addition, due to his attractive appearance, he was nominated in the "Most Beautiful Asian Face" contest. The singer speaks several languages and has acted in films.

Personal life

Information about Wang Xi's personal life is kept mostly secret, which is typical for many popular Chinese performers. There is no reliable information about the singer's romantic relationship or his marital status.

Rumors about his life periodically appear on the Internet, but there is no official confirmation of this data. Wang Xi himself remains focused on creative activities and rarely comments on personal topics in the media.

Performance at Intervision 2025

At Intervision, Wang Xi will present the song "On the Way", which has already gained popularity after presenting it for performance in the framework of the competition.

The performer decided to replace the originally announced track "At the Horizon" with a popular composition from his repertoire, which does not contradict the rules of the competition. The chosen theme of the artist reveals the theme of finding and finding shelter, reminding that the very state of "being on the move" is one of the most beautiful in life.

The Intervision 2025 competition will bring together performers from about 20 countries, representing a variety of musical cultures. The Chinese participant, thanks to his talent and charisma, has a good chance of success and high marks from the jury and the audience. Wang Xi plans to surprise the audience with his unique vocal technique and professionalism. The organizers of the contest note that his performance is one of the most anticipated moments of the event.

The Intervision Program

The final program of Intervision 2025 includes a grand opening, a cultural parade, video visuals of participants about their countries, performances by performers according to the draw, performances by special guests and an international headliner, jury voting and an award ceremony for the winner. The competition will be held on September 20 in Moscow.

Each contestant will present a short video about the culture and achievements of their country. Performances are artistic stage performances reflecting the traditions or current trends of the participating countries, while all songs are performed exclusively live.

The international jury consists of music industry professionals — performers, producers and musicologists from different countries. They rate the participants according to a point system, and the song with the highest score will be the winner. In addition, the outstanding Chinese opera singer Wu Bixia joined the international jury of the music competition. She holds the position of professor at the Chinese Conservatory of Music and heads the Institute of Chinese Vocal Art.

The main prize is 30 million rubles and the Intervision crystal Cup. The rest of the participants receive diplomas.
