If it wasn't for Nemo, Switzerland wouldn't be hosting this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Twelve months ago, the singer lifted the trophy for their song The Code, an operatic pop track about their journey to realising they were non-binary.
It was the first victory for a non-binary performer in Eurovision history and the first for Switzerland since Céline Dion won in 1988.
Looking back, 12 months later, the singer says the experience "turned my life upside down, in the best way possible."
"The most important thing was [that] I gained a lot of self confidence in myself as an artist.
"It adds a level of relaxation to the creation process, because I know I can trust my gut when it comes to writing songs and performance."
Nemo remembers that feeling well.
This time last year, they were the bookmakers' third favourite, but saw off frontrunners Croatia and Israel with a high-risk performance that saw them dancing on a tilted, spinning platform, while hitting improbable high notes for three long minutes.
"I had moments where I was like, 'Please just don't fall. Whatever you do, don't fall,'" they laugh.
"And then I got lucky seven times, because you're rehearsing, then you have the jury show, and it all leads up to the final performance.
"I was like, 'It's gone right seven times. What are the chances that, in this moment, it will go wrong?'
"So I trusted in the moment, and everything went fine, but I could have been the biggest loser in the history of Switzerland!"
