Arthur Abgar is a young singer who originally hails from Armenia
and is looking to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest in
Belgrade. Here he talks exclusively to Oikotimes.com about his dreams
and hopes for Eurovision.
You present yourself with the song "Come to me" how is it?
I think that it is a Eurovision song that has a catchy melody with
RnB rhythm in Spanish because it would represent Spain and some of
the words in English so that people from outside would be a little
more interested.
You music sounds quite exotic, what influence does it have?
Some of my songs have Armenian music influences.
Is Eurovision a dream come true?
Well, representing Spain at Eurovision is one of my dreams but if
this time I have no luck at it then I am sure that I will have it at
a Yurmala festival.
How is it that you have decided to represent Spain?
It is normal that I represent Spain because I live here and carry
out my career here.
To which singer could we compare you?
To none! I always try to do something more original.
Have you been a follower of Eurovision?
You could say so but the last three years I have followed it more
than ever.
What is you first memory of Eurovision?
My first memory is the dance of Sertab Enereb on the stage of Riga
although I also remember the performance of the first representative
of my country; Armenia at Eurovision. It was a surprise for me that
Andre represented us.
What else do you dedicate yourself to apart from music?
I only dedicate myself to music. I am studying song at a Music Academy
in Valencia. I am also recording my second album.
Do you have a message for the Eurovision fans?
I thank them for supporting me without being recognised over here in
Spain. Thank you for believing in me and that you may continue with
that energy, as we have to make the ten finalists!
