    Loïc Nottet is the representative of Belgium in the 60th anniversary of Eurovision Song Contest Vienna 2015 with the song “Rhythm Inside.”
    Loïc is a young and complete artist who is already conscious of the universe he wishes to create. He is known for his participation in the most watched talent show in Belgium, “The Voice.” Loïc is a rare artist; he participated in the total conception of Eurovision’s project. He composed the music, melody, collaborated the choreography, co-designed the look and visuals that will be used during the presentation in Vienna.  An interesting new talent ready to conquer Europe under the “Rhythm Inside.”
    Entrancing and primitively majestic, “Rhythm Inside” reminds us that the mechanism of our hearts is invariable. Only our individual decisions will decide what mark we leave on this world. Don’t force yourself to conform to the cadence of another, find your own inner rhythm ... you’ll see that you do not walk alone.
    "Rhythm Inside" is produced by Luuk Cox/Shameboy (Stromae, My Little Cheap Dictaphone, Eva De Roovere, Girls in Hawaii) and mastered by Stuart Hawkes - Metropolis Studio in London (Sam Smith, Charli XCX, Lorde and Amy Winehouse). The lyrics were written by Beverly Jo Scott.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the great honour to host in our site the amazing new talent; Mr. Loïc Nottet.

Loïc, what are your influence to start walking the path of music and singing?
One of the reasons why I went on this way was The famous MJ (Michael Jackson). He was my first influence.

Do you consider yourself a Eurovision fan? 
Honestly, not really. I just knew the name of the contest. So when I was selected for it I learned about it and now I think it’s a great concept to make a huge show like that where a lot of European countries can make a show together and have fun together so I think it’s a great idea, a great concept.

Being a representative of an entire country is difficult? What do you feel about it?
It's not difficult. It's funny and make you feel proud! 

It was easy to write a song for Eurovision Song Contest?
I didn't write a song for this contest. I wrote a song for me. My goal was not to write a song in the way of the Eurovision. I mean to write a song to win the contest. I've just been honest with myself and my universe.

This year Eurovision counts 60 years, what are your favourite songs from Eurovision? 
I think it was "The common linnets" from The Netherlands last year. I really like it because it's really simple. I really like acoustic songs :) I can feel emotions when I hear acoustics sounds. The fingers on the guitar rope is just amazing.

Have you listened the other competing songs? If so, what do you think about Greek entry?
I didn’t listen to the others. I made that decision because I don’t want to stress and have pressure. I know “Rhythm Inside” is different, it is not a typical Eurovision song. I don’t want to listen to the other songs because I don’t want to compare my work with the other artists and suddenly have a huge stress.

Greece is known for her natural treasures, have you ever visit Greece? What do you think about our country?
I went to Greece once. It's was an amazing trip I really love history and Greece has a lot.

You are a very young talented artist, except composing the music of “Rhythm Inside” you cooperate in entire project of your performance, do you want to tell us some words about that?
I did the choreography, I worked on the screens and I drew the costumes which will be on stage I wrote the script of the official video too 

Will you release an album? If so, will it have a similar sound to “Rhythm Inside”?
Yes I will :) And of course it will sound the same because Rhythm Inside is me. It's really my universe and not just a song.
