Hello Leemet! How are you?I am doing great, thank you for asking. Hope you are already having fun with all the Eurovision coming up.
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
I am a simple, down to earth kind of guy who loves to sing and do music with my closest friends. Country music is particularly close to my heart. Everything I do, I do it with passion and love and it has to mean a lot to me. I aspire to be called one day a true country musician and perform with the great legends.

You are one of the participants of Eesti laul 2017. How did it all begin?It all began one day, when Ed Struijlaart called me and told me he would like to write a song with me. I couldn't let that chance to just go by and like you see- here we are!
“Hurricane” is the title of your song, what’s the story behind it?
I made the song “Hurricane” with my co-writer from Netherlands, Ed Struijlaart, specifically for the Eesti Laul contest. It is a catchy pop-country song that talks about a powerful love that carries you like a hurricane. Hence the title “Hurricane”.
country, power, melody, love.
What can we expect to see on stage for the performance?
I really can't say much, but we tend to lift some of the mistery on my facebook page. I will say that there will be dancing involved.

What do you like about Eurovision?
It's huge opportunity and you don't get to see that kind of stages and shows all the time! That is the most interesting for me.
What do you dislike about Eurovision?
That there are no more live bands like there was 25years ago.
