Eurovision is huge and everyone follows it, so yes, you know that the whole country is supporting you!
What Eurovision offers you?
Eurovision is a great opportunity to get your message across, and yes it is a platform to get your music out there!

I think everything has changes! You know, four years is a long time in a musician’s life, I think I grown hopefully as a person and a singer, so with every performance you become more confidence. Four years is a long time and I am stronger performer today than four years ago and I hope I will be stronger performer in four years from now!

For me its “A Monster Like Me” from last year and “Molitva” from Serbia.
What is the message for the Greek fans?
The message is not to listen to the negative voices because you can hear them everywhere! Be a positive voice for others, listen to the positive voices and enjoy Eurovision I would say!
