Erica Cody has teased her dream to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The 27-year-old told VIP magazine: “I have some big plans and I’m hoping they’re going to Eurovision-based.”
“I’m interested in doing it and I have the song.”
“I’ve been approached to do it a couple of years ago and it was one of those things where I said, ‘Never say never’ but the timing just had to be right,” Erica revealed.
“Now I feel like I’m at a place in my life where it’s something that I could do, do well. And hopefully do Ireland proud and give them something international!”
“I was on the jury this year and after seeing how everything is put together and being a part of it in this way, I was like, ‘Oh this is a bit of me.'”
“I have it all mapped out. I’ve the choreography down, I have the creative direction, it’s going to be a production. I don’t do things in halves, go big or go home!”
Erica continued: “It’ll be a bit of fun, I think I have a lot to offer and I think this is the perfect stage to do that and to do it on the back of my country is great. Look, we’ll see where we get!”
“Of course, I’m a Eurovision fan, I watch it every year.”
Erica is en route to becoming a triple threat; she’s already conquered singing, and more recently dancing – thanks to RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars.
Speaking previously to Goss.ie, the 27-year-old previously revealed her aspirations to land an acting role as a Bond girl.
When asked whether she’s though about a career in acting, Erica told Goss.ie: “Yes, yes! That’s so funny you said that because I was literally on to my agent a couple of weeks ago like ‘I need to start self-taping again!’”
“I was self-taping a lot during Covid… Now, obviously you have to practice at your craft and I’m kind of that person who needs to – I’ve a million tabs open in my brain – but I really, really, really do have a passion for acting, and I’ve done it since I was a kid.”
“So it’s definitely something I wanna get back into now within the next year, or two… or twenty,” the singer joked.
“You know what, I ride the wave. I see what happens and obviously I’ve a lot of things going on at the moment, but I definitely want to at least start dipping my toe back in to the world of acting.”
When asked if she had a dream role she’d like to pursue, Erica immediately nodded her head in admission.
“I literally want to play Roxie Heart in Chicago on broadway,” the Dublin native told Goss.ie. “That’s my dream, between that and a Bond girl.”
“I’d love to write the theme tune for a Bond movie, and be the girl… and then also be Catwoman… and then be like a Marvel – like baddie Marvel girl.”
“Just a few things. Just a few tiny things!”
