​

How have you found the promotion side of Eurovision and do you find it easy to open up to people about your life and music?

It’s amazing to connect with so many people and share my music on such a big platform. Of course, it can be a whirlwind with all the interviews and events, but I love getting to talk about something I’m passionate about. As for opening up, I think music is a great way to express emotions and focus on storytelling, so I try to be as honest as possible in my work. It’s always special when people can relate to something that I’m sharing.

 

I know youve had some issues when it comes to your country and the acceptance of who you are. Would you give us a quick rundown of what youve been through and how it makes you feel

It’s really sad and disappointing to see the amount of hate I’ve received in Croatia, from people who are openly homophobic. Even if someone doesn’t like my song, that’s fine because music is really subjective. But it’s clear that, for some, that’s just an excuse to justify their prejudice.

​

Being the first openly gay singer in Croatia comes with a lot of weight, and I knew there would be negativity, but it’s still disheartening to see how deeply rooted homophobia still is. At the same time, I’ve also received so much love and support, and that’s what I choose to focus on. No amount of hate will change who I am or stop me from doing what I love.

 

What do you think your song and performance has that will make it stand out?

I think my song stands out because of its dark atmosphere and the way the vibe constantly shifts, keeping listeners engaged. There’s a real emotional intensity to it, and with the improved vocals, since I was really sick and exhausted during the national final, I can bring the song to life in a much stronger way. The performance will also reflect that intensity, making it an unforgettable moment on stage.

​

What things are you looking forward to and maybe nervous about on the night of Eurovision?

I’m really looking forward to delivering the performance of a lifetime and hopefully surprising people in a really positive way. I know what I’m capable of, and I can’t wait to bring everything together on that stage. Of course, there are always nerves, but that’s just because of the responsibility i feel to do my best.

If I were to win… honestly, I’d probably just pass out on the spot from sheer shock! It would be such an overwhelming moment so i can’t even predict how i’d feel.

 

Is there a particular Eurovision moment you like or remember the most or an act you admire

There have been so many iconic moments in Eurovision, but Verka Serduchka’s Dancing Lasha Tumbai is definitely one that stands out. It was wild, over-the-top, and completely unforgettable.  I love when artists bring their full personality to the stage and create something truly unique.

 

What would your message be to Eurovision fans?

To all the Eurovision fans, I just want to say a huge thank you for your energy and support. I can’t wait to get on stage and give you a performance you won’t forget!

After Eurovision, I’m not slowing down at all there’s so much new music coming, and I’m planning to tour as well. I’m really excited to share what I’ve been working on, and I hope you’ll all stick around for what’s next :))
