All siblings received classical music lessons: Attila trained in cello, Tünde played the flute from the age of nine, their younger sister trained in violin. Tünde and Attila studied psychology and mechanical engineering respectively.20162024: 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.2025present: 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", a short clip of which Raab had discovered on the duo's Instagram profile.Abor & Tynna received the green light from the jury for the semi-final of the show series with a cover of Adele's Skyfall in the first preliminary round. Their debut album, Bittersüß, was released on the same day. The song, which was included on the album, was voted into the final by the jury and then into the superfinal, where the song won the televoting against four remaining competitors on 1 March 2025, with 34.9% of the votes. Abor & Tynna thus won the right to represent Germany in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel on 17 May 2025, where they finished 15th with 151 points.
