Kirsten, from South Africa via UK to
Vienna 2015?
Yeah...long story, lol!
Describe Kirsten in five words:
Culturally confused, singing, pink* lover.
(*as in the
colour although I do like Pink the artist...OK way too many words!)
How about your professional CV. You
have a lot of experience of various kind, don't you? From backing
some major names to singing demos and releasing your first EP. What's
next?
Yes, I've been
very fortunate to have some pretty cool opportunies over the past few
years, including releasing my own EP 'Written in the Sky' and that's
what it's all about for me – doing my own music. What's next? An
album!!
And how did you get involved with this
Eurovision project?
Through vocal
coach/songwriter/author (I've probably missed out something there!)
and all round talented guy – Joshua Alamu.
Tell us about your song One life
It's
a song that really resonates with me and my journey so far. There are
always so many ups and downs, but it's finding it in you to keep
believing you can achieve your dreams in life.
Have you heard any of the other songs
sent in for Switzerland? There are quite a few songs from UK (and
countless other countries, too). What makes the British songwriters
turn into other countries?
I haven't heard
any of the other songs...one track mind! I suppose in general the
British public aren't as 'into' Eurovision as a lot of Europe is.
Boooo!
Let's talk about Eurovision a little.
Do you know what you are getting into?
Haha (nervous
laughter...)
Are you a fan?
It's gone full
circle for me. I loved it as a child, went off it as a teen and now
I'm back to where I started....loving it!
What is your all time favorite
Eurovision song?
Euphoria - Loreen
And the most memorable Eurovision
performance?
The old Russian
ladies? I don't think I'll ever forget
that haha!
An Eurovision song from previous years
you would have wanted to sing yourself?
Probably Euphoria
again...love that tune!
Have you been to Vienna before?
No...
Last but not least, do you like
Sachertorte?
Definitely just
had to google what that is....OMG it looks amazing!! I can't see
what's not to like about it! Take me to Vienna...
How would you convince Blogilkar
readers to vote for you?
Pretty please,
with a big fat cherry on top?
Thank you Kirsten for this interview
