Let’s talk about MGP 2018. How did it all begin?
I wanted to participate again so I made a song and submitted it.

“Talk to the hand” is the title of your song, what’s the story behind it?
- too long - you should ask Jonas McDonnell the writer. 

If you were in charge of the staging for TTTH, how would you do it?
A little Michael Jackson inspired on the dance, and a little Dave Mathews Band inspired band. And use the hand for what its worth. 

Have you heard any of the other songs in the competition (MGP 18)? Any favorite?
Yes. And I like all of them actually. Just in different ways. The Charla K song is probably the genre and production I like the most. But my favourite is Walmann. FS.
