“I always try to challenge myself. Try new ways to sing, do things I’m not familiar with, and to play with music. It’s the only way to learn and keep creativity exciting at all times.”
“I’ve always wanted to take part in Eurovision Song Contest, and now I get to do it ONE MORE TIME. I’m incredibly excited to show you our brand new song «Eyes Wide Open», which will be released on the 12th of February 2021. ”

ONE LAST TIME
For me, One last time has a parallel meaning. On one hand it’s saying that I will never give up. That I will always try again when it’s worth it. On the other hand it’s saying that everything in life is made up of contrasts. Yin and Yan. Light and dark. Good and bad. A relationship can be both hard and great. To work on something can be tough, but in the end it’s worth it. You have to build, create, and give it your all to experience happiness and freedom.
