escXtra: Hi Hien, thank you for taking your time out for doing this interview. Can you tell us a little bit about yourselves for the start?
Hien: Hi Ervin! I’ve been always addicted to music since I was a little baby. I played the violin and the piano for 7 years. Later I attended to the Hungarian Idol in 2008 when I was 14. Since then I’ve received a record contract and have came out with 2 records.
X: How did you decide to enter this year’s edition of A Dal?
H: On one hand I’d have wanted to attend to a Tv show where I have an opportunity to propagate my song. On the other hand I would like to have a new big journey and challenge
X: Can you tell us a bit about “The Way I Do”?
H: The song was composed by me and the lyrics were written by Johnny Palmer. I love this song because it’s fresh,energetic and it talks about freedom, instinct. It was finished very soon so it was born very randomly.
X: You composed this song yourself. Did you compose it especially for this Contest?
H: Not at all. At first I didn’t want to enter this edition. My manager has convinced me and I said why not.
X: How are you preparing for the contest?
H: I just want to have a very good party with my band on the stage and sing out loudly. I do not want to overthink it at all.
X: Can you tell us how your stage performance is going to look like?
H: Me and my super sexy band. That’s all:)
X: Did you hear the other competing songs this year, and have you got your personal favourite song?ย
H: Of course I did. My favourite one is Running Out Of Time by Viktor Kiraly.
X: If you could sing a duet with any of the other 29 contestants this year, who would it be with, and why?
H: Kallay Saunders Andras. Because I love his voice and his style. I think we would suit together.
X: What would representing Hungary in Eurovision mean to you?
H: Nevertheless my parents are Vietnamese I consider myself Hungarian because I was born in Hungary and has grown up here. I am very proud of it therefore I would be very happy if Hungarian people accepted me and trusted me enough for this mission.
X: Do you have a message for all your fans, and all the readers of escXtra?
H: I hope that you like my song, I love my fans and they mean to me so much that they can’t even imagine. ย I’m sure that they will support me like before.
X: Thank you very much, and we wish you all the best in A Dal!
H: Thank you!
