1. Tell us about your beginnings in music, what should Latin
America know about Daniel Kajmakoski?
Daniel: When it comes to my begginings in music, there is a stroy
that my mom wants to tell very often! She says that that the moment I was born,
she told to the nurses that this baby will be called Daniel, and he will be a
singer! Precognition or something else, who knows, but as far as I remember I can tell that my dad's instruments were also my toys, at first I used to play
with them, now i'm playing on them... :)
2. What motivated you to submit your proposal to Skopje
Fest?
Daniel: As a matter of fact, I was invited to take part on Skopski
Festival. The possibility to represent Macedonia in Vienna made me feel very
optimistic and energized. I am a very big fan of Eurovision it was always one
of my dreams to preform on that huge stage infront of so many people.. I decided to listen to that feeling! and of
course I did not want to miss the chance to represent Macedonia in the country
i grown up.
3. What were your thoughts once you won the national final
of Macedonia for Eurovision 2015?
Daniel: I was telling my self " Ok Daniel, this means you have
the support, now it's the time to give something back to your supporters"
This is the thought that goes thru my mind all the time, since the moment I won
Skopski Festival, I feel like a boomerang now hahaha I left Vienna to be part
of the X Factor Adria and after I won the competition, I won Skopje Fest and now, I am going back to Vienna for Eurovision hehehe, this is such a unbeliveble
story, I really feel like Alice in
Wonderland and if this is just a dream please, don’t wake me up ok ?? just let
me sleep hehehe
4. What can you tell of 'Esenski Lisja'? , the song wich you
won the Macedonian festival.
Daniel: For the first time in my life i've heard a
methaphor describing the falling of the autumn leaves with the positive vibes
that love brings, which really made me think about the cycle of life, and the
perception of love that we have globally. I think that infinite Love is
the only truth in this world, everything else is just an illusion!
5. Your country was the first to present its proposal for
ESC 2015, what ‘s next for your delegation, you have a lot of time to prepare
staging before traveling to Austria?
Daniel: At this moment we work on the new arrangment of the song! At
Skopje festival, we were limited by the orchestra now, we want to try and add
a different dimensión to this song, will see what happens very soon! :)
6. Do you have in mind to sing in english or it is a fact
that you will sing completely in Macedonian?
Daniel: There is still time
to make the final decision but with each day passed i'm thinking about singing
in English more and more...
7. What has to offer Daniel as an artist to his country in
Eurovision 2015?
Daniel: Uniqueness... I believe that we live in a world where majority
of the population have forgotten that we are all unique in some way... the
shortcut in finding your uniqness is to follow your heart.
8. Eurovision is a festival that passionates to many Latinos,
were you aware of this? What do you think of the impact that the festival have in
such a faraway continent?
Daniel: Except for the music, I don't know very much about Latin
America, and it really amazes me that Eurovision is popular in these countries. I don't know what
is the impact that this festival has on this continent, but I'm sure that a good
song will be recognized in every part of this world.
9. Would you like to bring your music to Latin America?
Daniel: Of course, i'm looking forward in doing that!
Thank you to Daniel for his time, we hope the best for you and Macedonia!
