Career

Georgi started her career along with her sister in the duo Me & My; the group had a couple of hits around Europe. They also participated in the Danish pre-selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2007 together, in the end landing a 6th place in the national final. In 2009, she stated on her official MySpace page that she was recording her fourth album.

Georgi is the owner of the biggest singing academy in Andorra: Stars Academy. She also runs a management and recording studio to help new and upcoming talents.

Eurovision 2009

Susanne represented Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009[2] in Moscow, Russia with the song "La teva decisió (Get a Life)". The results of the national final in Andorra showed that she had received 47% of the jury vote and 66% of the public televote. The song, however, failed to make it to the final of Eurovision the same year, losing out in the first semi-final. It was not the first time Susanne has made an appearance in Eurovision; at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 she presented the Danish televoting results at the Final in Helsinki. She has been working extensively to bring Andorra back to the contest since her appearance in the competition.

Personal life

Georgi moved to Andorra in 1995 and has lived there ever since. She can speak Catalan, Danish, English, Spanish and German.[3]

On 10 September 2011, Georgi married Xavier Puigcercós. They have two daughters: Molly Puigcercós Georgi (2010) and Shelly Puigcercós Georgi (2012). In 2019, Molly was a contestant on the Spanish version of The Voice Kids broadcast on Antena 3.
