Five years later, and under the pseudonym of Angelo De Nile, he performed in Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015, the national final for Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, with the song "All For Victory", and came in 5th place. A year later, this time together with Annica Milán, he again tried his luck to represent Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Good Enough", which again finished in 5th place.
