Talking about the inspiration for his song, Norwegian artist Alexander Ryback said that the tune came to him spontaneously when he was travelling in the countryside and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Norwegian nature listen. He had a violin with him and that has done it – the composition “Fairy Tale” came into existence.Alexander started singing at a very early age. His earliest recollection of signing is performing Belarusian “Kupalinka” to his mother when he was a child. Representatives of Belarus in their turn reminded Alexander that he has a lot of fans among Belarusians.
When asked whom does he support among other contestants, Alexander immediately said: “Svetlana Loboda”.
Alexander’s command of Russian was a pleasant surprise to the Russian and Belarusian journalists at the press conference. Still, some complexly worded questions turned out to be beyond the artist’s understanding and he simply asked the audience “to speak with him like with a child”.
Alexander’s birthday is next Wednesday and to the question about presents he said that he would be really happy to get a cake or to hear a performance of his song by another artist.
