If I was a cake, which cake would I be and why?
At the moment it's cake cake cake, all the time! So it's hard to answer. Right now I will say... a space cake!

When I'm not standing on a Eurovision stage, I'm….?
Just a man like everyone in the street. When I'm wearing my hat people recognises me in the street, but when I take it off I'm just ordinary.

A special/funny/weird/awkward musical moment I've had:
Once in school my teacher wanted me to take part in a music contest, but I didn't want to, but then I was told I couldn't finish the class if I didn't. I didn't practise a lot for that, so, when I was playing I suddenly forgot what I should play, and just started improvising for 7 minutes or something. Afterwards my teacher left without saying anything to me! But then the next day they told me I got 3rd place! That was funny and weird, but not sure I deserved the prize.

A person I would like to meet:
I don't have a special or famous person I'd like to meet. I like ordinary people who don't pretend to be something they aren't.

Something I would never do:
I would never say "never".

My favourite Eurovision song:
I don't know. There are many songs, but I can't choose one.
(Bonus info: Jöran told us Guntis really likes to play the saxophone part in "Der står et billede af dig på mit bord").
