Hello Anton! Welcome to Melodifestivalen! How are you?
Hello, I am really great thank you!

I am a very uncomplicated artist that loves to write and perform songs and feel the energy of live audience. I like real instruments and pop and rock with a strong melody.

You are one of the participants of Melodifestivalen 2017. How did it all begin?
My interest in music came really early but I started to sing and play guitar at the age of 12. I posted my first Youtube video and received a great response. I was picked up by a talent scout and got signed for a duo when I was 15. Since then Ive been working hard to get here!

“Kiss you goodbye” is the title of your song, what’s the story behind it?
It is a positive mid-tempo song that describes the fear of the unknown and how to let go and move on after a relationship

Describe the song with 4 words:
Heartbreak, love, supportive and positive!

What can we expect to see on stage for the performance?
A lot of emotions, that all I can say for now =)

What do you like about Eurovision?
It is a fantastic music festival for all people and where everyone is accepted for who they are.

What do you dislike about Eurovision?
Nothing! I love everything about it!

Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word:
YouTube: Love
Nightmare: Chills
