Buzaladze began her solo career in 2011, when she competed in Georgia's Got Talent. In 2014, she garnered international attention as she represented Georgia in the New Wave Music Festival held in Jūrmala, Latvia, which she won. During the following years, she competed in The Voice of Turkey, Two Stars Georgia and the Georgian versions of Your Face Sounds Familiar and Dancing with the Stars. She has collaborated with Turkish singer Hadise, who also acted as her coach in The Voice of Turkey.[1][5]

In 2017, Buzaladze released the song "White Horses Run", with which she placed second in the Georgian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.[6] In 2019, Buzaladze released her debut album Nutsa22, containing covers of Georgian songs and original English-language compositions; this was followed by her breakthrough hit "Gelodebi".[4] Shortly after, she released a successful single in Russia.

In 2020 and 2021, she took part in All Together Now Russia.[1] She performed at the Expo 2020 in Dubai, as well as at the Dubai National Theatre and the Dubai Opera.[1][4] She competed in the "International Artists" category in the Albanian song competition Kënga Magjike 2021, where she came 1st. She participated in the 21st season of American Idol in 2023, credited mononymously as Nutsa, finishing in the top 12.[4][5] She returned for the season's finale as a guest performer, joining Lionel Richie alongside the rest of the top 12 for a performance of his song "Sail On", and performed a duet of the song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" with Kylie Minogue.[7]

On 12 January 2024, she was announced as the Georgian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.[4] Her song was later revealed to be titled "Firefighter" was released on 11 March 2024.[8] Nutsa qualified from the second semi-final at Eurovision on 9 May 2024.[9] In the grand final, she finished in 21st place with 34 points.

Political views and criticism

Buzaladze has endorsed Georgia's ruling party Georgian Dream, an anti-LGBT political force which in recent years has also promoted anti-Western narratives and baseless claims about a "Global War Party" attempting to embroil Georgia in a war against Russia over Ukraine.[16] During the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election, Buzaladze stated that she is "proud" to support the party and that she has been performing and campaigning for them for years.[17]

After the Georgian Dream ruling party engaged in widespread violence and torture against protesters disputing the election results, Buzaladze stated that she condemns "any type of violence against peaceful citizens, law enforcement, journalists, or people with different views".[18]

Earlier in 2023, Buzaladze also came under heavy criticism in Georgia because of her performance in Russia, which still occupies parts of Georgia. She was subsequently boycotted by several Georgian radios.[19] Buzaladze had to publicly apologize, even though some ruling party officials rushed to her defense.[20]
