'''Eda-Ines Etti''' ({{IPA|et|ˈɛdɑ ˈinɛs ˈɛtːi|}}), also known as simply '''Ines''', is an Estonian singer and songwriter. Etti [[Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000|represented Estonia]] in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2000]] with the song "[[Once in a Lifetime (Ines song)|Once in a Lifetime]]", placing fourth. Until their win the following year, this was Estonia's best result in the competition.

==Career==
Ines was designed to be once again Estonia's public [[Face (self image)|face]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2002]] held in Estonia, as she was the first choice for the production team of the ''[[Eurolaul]]'' entry "[[Runaway (Sahlene song)|Runaway]]". However, she pulled out at the last moment, and an experienced Swedish singer, [[Sahlene]] was hurriedly drafted in to perform "Runaway" at Eurolaul. This caused some controversy, with Ines' role in the affair coming under question.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} In the same year, Ines became the [[Face (self image)|face]] for the Finnish [[mobile ticketing]] company Plusdial.<ref>[http://www.plusdial.com/index.php?tid=12 Ines, the Eurovision Song Contest finalist and Plusdial in for cooperation!] plusdial.fi</ref>

Since then, she has once been the national spokeswoman during the voting procedure of Eurovision Song Contest and a co-presenter of ''[[Eurolaul]]'' in 2005.

Ines's first album in Estonian, ''15 magamata ööd'', was issued in 2004. The title-track of the record brought her the second "Female Artist of the Year" at the Estonian Music Awards. Ines' backup band was formed in 2005, including her brother Ivo Etti (bass guitar), Siim Mäesalu (piano), Erki Pärnoja (lead guitar), and Magnus Pajupuu (drums). The first two instrumentalists were freshly recruited from [[Ruffus]],<ref name=allstarz>{{cite web|url= http://php.allstarz.ee/index.php?id=9&tegevus=vaata_artiste|title= Ines (In Estonian)|publisher= AllStarz internet site|url-status= dead|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081201234409/http://php.allstarz.ee/index.php?tegevus=vaata_artiste&id=9|archivedate= 2008-12-01}}</ref> the participants of [[Eurovision Song Contest 2003]].

The first record of the new formation was Ines' album ''Uus päev''.<ref name=allstarz/> This included Ines' second ''Eurolaul'' entry, the song "Iseendale". The song came a close second to the winner "Through My Window", performed by the Swedish [[Sandra Oxenryd]]. "Iseendale" was notable as the only Estonian language song entered in 2006. Ines' third ''Eurolaul'' entry was the song entitled "In Good and Bad" in 2007 and achieved the 7th place.

Her album ''Kustutame vead'' earned her the nomination for the Female Artist of the Year.<ref>[http://www.efy.ee/index.php?page=90 Eesti Muusikaauhinnad 2008] (Estonian Music Awards 2008. In Estonian).
