History of the Ziferblat Band

Ziferblat is a Kyiv band formed by twin brothers Danilo and Valentin Leshchynskyi, as well as drummer Fedir Khodakov. The band gained popularity thanks to their performance on 'X-Factor' and the release of their debut album 'Kinoseyans'. They also received the Muzvar Awards in the category 'Best New Names in Alternative Music'. It should be noted that in 2024, Ziferblat reached the finals of the National Selection for Eurovision with the song 'Place I Call Home'.

Ziferblat attempted to participate in the National Selection in 2022, but at that Time they did not reach the finals. However, this did not stop them, and they continued to work on their creativity, releasing the single album 'Disco-Funk Therapy'. In 2025, Ziferblat won the National Selection with a song dedicated to Ukrainians who left their homes due to the war. The band is preparing for their performance at 'Eurovision-2025' and hopes to convey the theme of Ukraine through their music.

The band claims that their song has a simple message about resilience and love for their homeland. In the music video, they try to convey memories of home and the search for home. The music video was directed by Illya Dutsyk. Ziferblat is eagerly preparing for their performance at 'Eurovision-2025' and hopes to convey the theme of Ukraine through serious music, similar to Jamala.

After counting the votes of the audience and the jury, Ziferblat became the winners of the National Selection. In second place was the band Molodi, and in third place was the singer Masha Kondratenko. However, participant Khayat did not make it to the top three, despite having the highest number of points from the jury.
