Now I’ve really ‘got into’ the role and it’s great. I can’t wait to represent Croatia as well as possible and it’s great that no one has high expectations because then I have, and I know what we can offer, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed and can’t wait.
The singer also promised big changes for his performance for Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest:
We’re changing everything, changing the costumes, changing the set, changing the lighting, changing the ambiance and actually the whole story. We’ve been talking about the story through our performances at Dora, but now at Eurovision we have to tell it louder and clearer.
