Markus Riva: “I’ll keep trying until I represent Latvia at Eurovision” | Exclusive interview

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Markus Riva, is undoubtedly one of the most famous artists among the Eurovision fans! This year, he is trying to represent Latvia at Eurovision for the 9th year , and he is also the artist with the most appearances in their national final, Supernova. This year he will participate with the song “Forever“.

He spoke exclusively about his big dream to Eurovisionfun and to Apostolos Bogiannos and Stella Gialetzi.

Οn the question about his journey in Supernova so far, he told us:

“Wow, it’s been a long time! I hope that this journey is still ongoing and I want to believe that in the end I will succeed. Eurovision is my dream. This journey is unique and every year is different, I was twice in second place while some other times I didn’t manage to make it to the live shows. This shows us that there is no recipe, of course it takes hard work, but you can never be sure! It means a lot to me to achieve my goal and I will do my best!”

Markus also talked about his entry and how much he loves the 80’s vibe on it:

“The main message of my song is for people to try to stay away from the bad events that affect our lives! First it was the covid-19 pandemic, now we have bad events happening in Ukraine and all over the planet bad events are happening. So my goal was not to make a political song but an optimistic song that will lift people’s mood!”

Αlso, he revealed that his stage presentation is going to be epic, because he wants to leave his own mark on the contest!

About his favourite entries from Eurovision, Markus revealed:

“My favorite entry from Latvia is definitely Aminata’s “Love injected”. She is my friend and we also wrote a song together for supernova, it may not have been the most successful but it has a special place in my heart. More generally in Eurovision, the first entry that comes to my mind is Norway’s entry in 2013, “I feed you my love”. Also, from last year I really liked Sweden’s participation, “Ηold me closer” is definitely one of my favorite songs, but “Slomo” was also an impressive performance! I also really liked the winning song 2022, from Ukraine, as well as Jamala’s who won in 2016.”

Estonia: Interview with Janek | “Ηouse of Glass” and Eesti Laul 2023!(video)

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Janek, one of the candidates of this year’s national final of Estonia, Eesti Laul with the song “House of Glass“, spoke exclusively to EurovisionFun and to Stella Gialetzi and Apostolis Matamis.

The singer, after talking about the changes that have come to his life recently due to the competition, referred to his decision to participate in this year’s national final:

“Although music has always been in my life, lately I’ve decided to write more and start collaborating with other musicians. So I decided to join Eesti Laul, as it’s a good way to introduce myself to both Estonian and foreign audiences and to the public of other countries.”

As for the involvement of “House of Glass”, he revealed that it is a song about love and that many people can relate to it. At the same time, it is also a song about the sadness and confusion that a breakup brings to a relationship. He states that the message of his participation can be compared to his effort in musical events, as he has been trying for a long time to succeed in the field and realize his dreams.

“I came up with the chorus melody maybe in my shower but they told me it’s not good! But when I decided to work with Morland (Norway 2015), between several songs he told me that this has the most potential and so we made some changes and ended up with House of Glass!”

Among other things, he himself, talking about his stage presence in the semi-final, commented to us that they don’t want to do much but only what is necessary for the song, while he revealed to us that he will be alone on the stage of Eesti Laul 2023!

His favorite Estonian entries are “Rändajad” by Urban Symphony (2009), while his favorite Eurovision entries are Sweden 2012, Austria 2014 and many other entries that failed to qualify  in the Eurovision final.

Just before the end of the interview, Janek offered us a part of his song acapella.
