Slovakia Max Jason: "I feel great after this rehearsal!"
Baku, May 16 (AZERTAC). Max Jason Mai started his press conference by stating: "I feel great after this rehearsal!" On the fact that he wrote both the lyrics and the music of his Eurovision song himself, he said: "I have always enjoyed music, arts, performing, so it was a great opportunity to join all this together."
The Slovak delegation also showed an innovative gadget which is a world`s first: A digital signature card - when you hold it against a smartphone camera, it initiates a multimedia presentation. One more nice work of art was presented - an amulet showing a symbol representing male and female energy, which was created by Max Jason Mai himself.
"I`m a rock`n`roll singer, and my career started in a garage band, so I want to stay with my roots. Also, there are so many different styles of music in the Eurovision Song Contest." He added: "There are so many rock fans who think that Eurovision sucks, and maybe this is a step to bring those people to the Eurovision Song Contest."
"It`s extremely important for me", Max Jason Mai explained. "My body, my skin, my whole appearance - all that matters."
Rock musician, singer-songwriter and rhythm guitarist Max Jason Mai is 23 years old. The versatile artist will represent Slovakia with his rock song Don`t Close Your Eyes.
