Biography

“The Eurovision Song Contest and YouTube have been a big help for me to show my talent. I don´t consider myself, a “format” kind of artist and I need the support of people around the world. I care about talent and I love to support and inspire people by travelling around the world and work with young talents, wherever I meet them.” – Alexander Rybak
