Why the UK doesn’t need to take Eurovision seriously

Sascha Son is a Lithuanian singer who has lived in London and in Lithuania. He explained the higher prominence of the Eurovision Song Contest outside the UK by comparing the size of the music industry in London to Lithuania listen.

Sasha Son was the only contestant to have visited Ireland during his Eurovision promotional tour. “I gave three solo concerts in Ireland. That’s where a lot of my fellow-countrymen live. The tour was quite a success. I also toured other countries like Latvia and Ukraine. I’ve also been to London and Amsterdam. The promo tour was great luck for me, “ he said.

He released his first song at the age of 12 and is very grateful to his father who helped him out with the project. Later on, the young artist attended music classes and went as far as to take part a talent show. Although he started his singing career at an early age, the lyrics of his songs was fairly serious, he confessed.

The Luthiania delegation was represented by: Jonas VILIMAS (Head of Delegation), Sasha SON (lead artist), back vocalists Baiba SKURSTENE, Nora STROLYTE.
