This is going to be your 3rd time in DMGP, what did you learn from your past DMGP experiences?I learned a lot of things! Mostly to be in the present and enjoy the ride. It’s such a huge experience, that you don’t want to miss a second.
Well. I got contacted by DR, and was asked if I wanted to participate with this song. When I heard it for the first time, there was no doubt in my mind. This was the beginning of a new adventure.

“Heart shaped hole” is the title of your song, what’s the story behind it?Heart Shaped Hole is a strong song about letting go. That the end also means a new beginning, where you are stronger and more alive.
Powerful, unique, breathtaking and international.

I can´t tell much about the show yet. But it´s going to be spectacular with a lot of effects. :-)
I do, but it’s a surprise!

Yes, I´ve heard all the other songs. And I haven’t been able to pick out a favorite, cause I think they all have something special. It´s a strong field this year.
Eurovision is a celebration to music, and that’s what I love the most. Music is so important to all of us, and to create such a beautiful show that we can all enjoy is amazing.

I don’t think that I dislike anything about it.
