Eurofestival #2 - Main Thread!

Press conference with the HoD of Italy

Question: Have you found a way to finance the participation of Italy in the EFSC #2?
Answer: Fortunately I can say, that Italy can participate at the EFSC #2


Question: You said that you need an sponsor. What sponsor did you found?
Answer: The sponsor will be the American Record Label "Interscope Records"


Question: It's really unusual, that an American Record Label sponsors the participation of Italy in the EFSC #2. So are there any conditions they set?
Answer: Yes it is. And there are some conditions for sure. The most important for you to know is, that the artist representing Italy has to be an artist of their label with Italian roots. But the artist can be a former artist or an actual. They don't care about that.


Question: I think not many people have heard about it yet. So could you name just some artist under Interscope?
Answer: Sure. Interscope is really big and has artists like Lady Gaga, Eminem, Ellie Goulding, OneRepublic, Robin Thicke or Zedd.
But they also had some great artists like Daddy Yankee, Enrique Iglesias, K'naan, Guns N' Roses, t.A.T.u. or Snoop Dogg.
So I'll promise, that we will send a high quality song.


Question: Can you already name the artist? Or just give a hint if he or she or they are popular?
Answer: We already searched for some great artists, but we haven't made our decision yet. And the artist isn't as popular as Lady Gaga for example. So we wanna give a new artist the chance to promote herself.


Question: So it will be a female artist?
Answer: Yes this is for sure. But we have still some options.


Question: Thank you for your time. These were some great news.
Answer: Thank you.
