Slovakia Max Jason: We are real musicians
Baku, May 20 (AZERTAC). “We are real musicians” said Slovakian Max Jason at the press conference in Baku Crystal Hall.
Jana Majorova, the Head of the Slovak Delegation, started the press conference by introducing the team, and by showing a little puppet called Maxi, resembling Max Jason Mai, which was made for charity, in support of deaf people.
"Probably it would sound a little weird", he said. He then translated the lyrics of Don`t Close Your Eyes, and then said: "You see, it doesn`t really rhyme, and it sounds different."
On his second rehearsal, the Slovak singer commented: "It was so so so much better than the first rehearsal! We felt really at home there. Probably there is just one thing I`d like to change, and that`s my hair - I tried to make a miracle happen this morning, but the miracle went wrong", we jokingly added.
"We don`t like playbacks or even half playbacks, we are real musicians. That`s also why we haven`t made promo performances all over Europe before the Eurovision Song Contest, as everywhere they wanted us to do full playback, and that`s just very difficult for metalcore music. We want to play live", Max Jason Mai explained.
About his fellow contestants, he said: "I have to say I just love Euro-Neuro, that`s my favourite song!"
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.
