Artist Biography
Available in:

Boglárka Csemer, also known as Boggie, is a Hungarian singer-songwriter who rose to international prominence in January 2014 after the music video to Nouveau Parfum ('New Perfume') was picked up by media outlets in various countries including the UK and USA. The video shows the singer being extensively retouched while she sings the song, which is a darker, French-language rewrite of Parfüm, originally in Hungarian. Both songs feature on Boglárka's self-titled first album Boggie. The video and its message are similar to the Body Evolution viral video created for GlobalDemocracy.com to encourage the introduction of mandatory disclaimers on retouched images in popular media. Much like the model in Body Evolution, by the end of the video Boglárka bears little resemblance to her unaltered appearance at the start. A brief split-screen comparison shows the viewer how drastically different the final result is.
Two verses in Nouveau Parfum consist of Boggie reeling off a list of designer label perfumes and asking which she should choose, before questioning why she should have to make a choice at all and asking who is making her choose. Boggie then counters this pressure with the lines, "Je ne suis pas leur produit / De beauté, d'préciosité / Ils ne peuvent pas me changer" ("I am not their product / Of beauty, of preciousness / They cannot change me"). The designer labels and subversive message do not feature in the original Hungarian lyrics of Parfüm.

Eurovision Song Contest

Boggie represented Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Wars for Nothing". On 19 May 2015 she qualified for the event's grand final, which was held on 23 May 2015 in Vienna, Austria.
