Hello! How are you?
Ultra.

How would you describe yourself as an artist?
Childish, simple but clever at the same time, very productive and always taking on new challenges. 
You are one of the participants of Eesti laul 2015. How did it all begin?
I’ve made music for 10 years as Kali Briis and now that i have a band, it felt the right thing to do, considering that Eesti Laul is one of the biggest and well promoted musical events in Estonia.

"Idiot" is the title of your song, whats the story behind it? what made you write it?
The fact that people waste some much energy on being better than others when they should be trying to be better WITH others. So the song has a simple moral – idiots aren’t the ones who don’t know anything but the ones who think they know everything.

Describe the song with 4 words:
geeky, electric, nipsy, sarcastic

What can we expect to see on stage for the performance?
Lots of energy and flashing lights as always.
Have you heard any of the other participants? Any favorite?
I think the most potential Eurovision song this year is Goodbye to yesterday.

What do you like about Eurovision?
The variety and it’s traditions.

What do you dislike about Eurovision?
Angry diehard fans.
Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word:
Nightmare: Freddy Krueger
Stage: Fright
Fire: Sauna
Stranger: Hello
Nudity: Nice!
Estonia: Winter
Racoon: Thief
Dreams: Countryhouse
What are your plans for 2015?
I’ll try to get my masters in natural sciences and hope to release a new album.

Is there anything you want to say to close the interview?
Don’t try to be a better person, try to be better person with others.

Thanks to Alan for the interview! Good luck!

Idiot

If there is something that you don't know, that you don't know,
tell a lie, tell a lie, a lie lie lie lie, a lie.
If there is something that you can't do, that you can't do,
fake a move, fake a move, fake a move.

You're looking serious,
showing experience,
in my opinion,
you're just an idiot.

You're looking serious,
showing experience,
in my opinion,
you're just an idiot.

If there is something that you don't have, that you don't have,
tell a lie, tell a lie, a lie lie lie lie, a lie.
If there is something that you don't like, that you don't like,
fake a smile, fake a smile, fake a smile.

You're looking serious,
showing experience,
in my opinion,
you're just an idiot.

You're looking serious,
showing experience,
in my opinion,
you're just an idiot.
