On May 9, Latvian representative Dons will take the Eurovision stage in Malmö with the song “Hollow”. But before that, he has already performed at several Eurovision warm-up events in Europe.
Twice in Spain, London, Amsterdam and Stockholm.
“It’s not as if we are welcomed there with open arms, because the participants of the big countries are preferred, but we have won our place. We have gained the interest of many big media, it seems that I have spoken to all the leading companies, I can’t even list them all,” to the magazine.What’s new” says Don.
During these many familiarization trips, Don has been surprised by how warmly the audience has received him and his song. “We are lucky with that! People even sing along! In England it was generally the case that the audience sang the whole song from beginning to end – knew all the words.”
And what will Don’s Eurovision performance be like? “We have also brought in a strong team to build our performance. For example, Nikolina Refsing from London, who has worked with great artists in the world, was also once the creative director for Eurovision in Denmark.”
