Timebelle is a Swiss-Romanian band from Bern, currently consisting of lead vocalist Miruna Manescu, drummer Samuel Forster, and multi-instrumentalist Emanuel Daniel Andriescu. Past members include accordionist Rade Mijatović, guitarist Christoph Siegrist, and bassist Sándor Török. The band was formed as a five-member boyband while its members were students at the University of Bern. Shortly after, Manescu was added to the group as a lead singer by their Romanian producer Mihai Alexandru. The name of the band is derived from the Zytglogge which is one of the main sights of Bern.
The band will represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Apollo". They previously attempted to represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Singing About Love", but placed second in the Swiss national final.
