In July 2022 he competed on German gameshow I Can See Your Voice (based on a South Korean series) and won his round. He is a bit of a winner, But can the winning streak continue with this song

Waterguns was co-written by Ashley Hicklin, and this will be Ashley's 7th song on the Eurovision stage. Ashley's best placed song was his first Eurovision entry, "Me and My Guitar" which came 6th for Belgium. None of these 7 entries have been a song for his native United Kingdom, despite two attempts. As they say 'if at first you don't succeed...' and Ashely is really trying, this time with Switzerland.
I would like to think the world is fatigued over the reminders of war and this song will be a litmus test. If this finishes top ten then there is still people awake to the mess of the world, though it is more likely to be in the bottom half of the final unless it has a great performance. as in 1986, this song is Pas Pour Moi
