History

The siblings are of Hungarian and Romanian origin and grew up in a family of artists from Hungary. Their father Csaba Bornemisza (born 1966) has been a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic, the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera, since 1993. All siblings received classical music lessons: Attila trained in cello, Tünde played the flute from the age of nine (she won first prizes in state and national competitions), their younger sister trained in violin. Tünde and Attila studied psychology and mechanical engineering respectively.

2016–2024: First steps

In 2016, the siblings recorded their first song together, which they uploaded to SoundCloud. Their mother shared the video on Facebook, whereupon a producer invited them to his recording studio. In the following years, further releases were released, Tünde became the singer and songwriter Tynna, and Attila the music producer took the name Abor. Around 2020, they received an invitation to participate in Austria's internal selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Due to their inexperience and lack of previous live performances, Abor & Tynna declined. In April 2024, they were the opening act at the opening of Nina Chuba's Glas tour in Bremen.

2025–present: Eurovision Song Contest and Bittersüß

At the suggestion of their German music label, Abor & Tynna successfully applied for the German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. They initially presented themselves in a closed casting in December 2024 with the self-written song "Babylon". From over 3,000 applications, they were ultimately among 24 candidates who faced the vote of a jury and the television audience in the Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland? On the advice of Stefan Raab, the two chose the song "Baller×Baller15 May 2025 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 5 tracks1Baller2Baller (Acoustic Version)3Baller (Acoustic Hungarian Version)4Baller (Karaoke Version)5Baller (Abor Remix)", a short clip of which Raab had discovered on the duo's Instagram profile.
