Salvador Vilar Braamcamp Sobral (born 28 December 1989) is a Portuguese singer and activist. He won the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest for Portugal with the song "Amar pelos dois", written by his sister Luísa Sobral.[1] He gave Portugal its first ever win in the contest since the country's debut in 1964, ending the longest winless run by a country in Eurovision history (53 years).
Under the current voting system, the highest scoring winner is him winning the contest in Kyiv, Ukraine, with 758 points, with both the maximum points from the jury and the public vote being attributed to him.[2][3]
