Interview to Bryan Rice (Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2014)

Bryan Rice: ''...I suddenly stood with the right song! ''

Hello Bryan, 

First of all thank you very much for having a few minutes for us, by the way, because of your song ''Curtain Call you'' have a lot of fans in this part of the world, so, for all those reading, please tell us:

OGAE RoW Latin America • ''I Choose U'' is the name of your entry for the 2014 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, where you will try to win and represent Denmark as host, do you feel pressure to know that, your name sounds very strong to win the Danish preselection, and have the responsibility to defend the title? 

Bryan Rice - Of course it is somehow a pressure but I’m concentrating and focusing every day to be able to handle it and to my very best. I would never have said yes this year again if I wasn’t completely sure that I have the song that it takes to represent DK in the best way in ESC.

OGAE R.O.L.A. • From ''Breathing'', (your entry in 2010) to present, tell us about your experiences and growth as singer and composer? 

Bryan Rice - Actually, it all started long before Breathing. In 2005, 9 years ago, I released my first single No Promises and then it all started. It is a wonderful journey and I’m loving every moment of it. Since Breathing I released 2 albums and I’m currently working on the next, my 5th album. I did two theatre concerts in DK and toured many places ind Scandinavia, Hong Kong, Belgium etc. It is my dream and I fell so lucky that I get to reach out to you all. 

''Breathing'' finished second on the DMGP 2010

OGAE R.O.L.A.• How the possibility of a new opportunity to represent Denmark through DMGP came to your life? 

Bryan Rice - Well, there are 3 big reasons, First of all, I suddenly stood with the right song! That’s most important to me, as it is a SONG contest. Next, Emmelie De Forest got the ESC to Denmark, and that is very important, it means a lot of focus on good pop music, and I’d love to part of that. Last but not least, it’s all your support that makes me want to try again. Every day I see messages that tell me to try and change that silver into gold, and I thought, this is the year!! With that support, I might be able to go all the way!

OGAE R.O.L.A. • By knowing your name as one of the participants of the Danish preselection, many latin fans, put you at the top of their personal favorites, knowing that, would you be willing to visit some of our countries in the future? 

Bryan Rice - There’s nothing I would love more…!! As a spanish speaking, I love visiting Latin America, a few years ago I travelled Argentina, and I know I have so much more to discover! Please, invite me to play for you and I’l come right away!

OGAE R.O.L.A.• What do you think of the great impact that ESC have on the Latino community? 

Bryan Rice: I actually don’t know, but that is what I love the most about music, it travels by itself, crosses borders that you never even knew, so beautiful! It’s our common language and I’m so fortunate to speak it.

OGAE R.O.L.A. • A last message for the hundreds of Latino eurofans who follow the contest every year . 

Bryan Rice - Yes, THANK YOU for your support, please follow me on FB, Insta, Twitter etc, find the links at www.bryanrice.com, in there we can chat and relate. Love a little more!

OGAE R.O.L.A. • Bryan, thank you for your kindness and affection , we wish you the best and we hope to see you defending the colors of the Danish flag in Copenhagen.
