Check out what Mave O’Rick had to say below;

ESCDaily.com: First, can you introduce yourself to our readers, how you got interested in music and your achievements so far?

Mave O’Rick: My name is Mave O’Rick and I am a pop artist from Germany. I compose, write and produce my songs mostly on my own. I make pop music with various influences, and I’ve loved pop music since I was a child. This year I released my second studio album called “Neo Messiah” and launched the international music project “Song Invasion”, which brought together artists from different countries. The first edition was a success, so a second one is in the making. I also took part in the Golden Melody International Song Festival this year in Cyprus with a German dance song called “Von Oben”, reaching a place in the Top 10 and I toured through Germany and Austria during this year’s summer. My coolest collaboration will be released in a few weeks, I am producing a former Eurovision winner -- which is extremely exciting. Unfortunately, I can’t tell more about the details yet. On 15th October I will play a concert in Lodz/Poland, so all you Polish guys and girls outside, come and meet me there!!

ESCDaily.com: What made you decide to submit a song for Switzerland this year?

Mave O’Rick: I’ve always loved Switzerland, the Swiss people and landscape and the hospitality. I couldn’t image any other country, I want to represent at Eurovision. I would wear a red dress with a white cross on it at the pre-selection show and would paint my nails in the same design as well – BULLSH!T -- Of course I like Swiss people and Switzerland as much as I like all the other European countries. Switzerland has an open selection and here I am, taking this opportunity, like all the other foreign singers. It’s all about fun and presenting a song. If people like it, I am happy.

ESCDaily.com: Tell us exactly, what is your ‘Beat’? How does this song express you as an artist?

Mave O’Rick: Smart question, since my song is called “My Beat” . Well, I like to dance, so a beat is important. I did so many songs in the last year that had a message or a deeper meaning, so I just wanted to do a track that says: Dance, have fun, that’s it… then the Irish lyricist Aidan O’Connor offered me some lyrics, which matched perfectly with my ideas for a song about beats and clubs. Actually the dance floor is the place in the world where people get together peacefully and have a joint party without discrimination, hatred and prejudices, just dancing to one and the same beat… well so again another song with a great message, as I just realised!

ESCDaily.com: Are you a Eurovision fan? Do you have a favourite song from the contest?

Mave O’Rick: Yes, I am! Yes, I do! It is definitely “Fra Mols Til Skagen”.

ESCDaily.com: Can you tells us your experiences from the Golden Melody International Song Festival in Cyprus?

Mave O’Rick: It was so much fun to meet and get to know artists from all over the world. Every experience opens new doors, which eventually lead to the next level. I am so happy I did this and wouldn’t wanna miss it.

ESCDaily.com: What are your future plans?

Mave O’Rick: I make music because I love it. I use it to channel my ideas and all the stuff that I need to say. So I certainly won’t stop any time soon. Taking part in contests or competitions is just a small part of it, and I don’t take it too seriously. I am working on several projects right now and I love to change my style, try something new and kick some ass from time to time, music-wise.
