Austrian delegation: This is the complete package
Expectations in Austria are high, among the delegation. ORF’s Television Director Kathrin Zechner said: “Cesár is rhythm, he is a child of humanity, he is a voice! Cesár lives and breathes music and is an empathic artist! He understands how to use his voice, as a singer and as a human being. (…) This means he has all the necessary tools to possibly become a standout in this competition. He is the complete package.”
Nathan Trent represented Austria in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest and reached the Grand Final with his song Running On Air. Austria’s best result in recent years was of course the winning entry ‘Rise like a Phoenix‘ in 2014.
Wow, wow, wow! Can I say more?
This is music in all its creativity and integrity. And beautiful voice!
