Laura Tesoro: Fresh Energy!
Laura Tesoro is only 19 years old, she is one of the most multitalented artists of this year’s Eurovision. She sings, dances, acts and presents. Her parents are both music artists, she inherited from them her Belgian – Italian roots and her incredible vocal and music abilities.
At the age of 8 she got her first role in television and three years after, at 11 years old, she was starting in the musical Annie.
Laura loves up-tempo pop with a dash of funk and soul. She performs with her own live band and she has already released several of her own songs.
Her representing song “What’s the pressure” is a creation of the famous Belgian singer-songwriter Selah Sue (Sanne Putseys) and produced by the Brit Peter Gordeno, who plays keyboards with Depeche Mode.
You won’t be surprised if I told you that Laura adores Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars.
I must say that I feel very, very honoured for this interview, Laura Tesoro is one of my favourite this year and I warmly welcome her in our site!
You are very young talented and very fresh artist! Definitely one of the most impressive artists this year, you always wanted to be a singer?
Thank you very much for the compliment. I have been singing ever since I was little, but I decided to become a singer after my participation in The Voice.
You are Eurovision fan, you watched it from your childhood?
As a kid I always watched the junior Song contest, I even still have a CD.
Which are your favourite Eurovision songs and what is your favourite from Belgium?
My all time favourite Eurovision Song is Euphoria. It’s a great song, every one knows it and can sing along. My favourite one from Belgium was last year’s ‘Rhythm inside’ from Loic! I love the song!
What is the message of “What’s The Pressure”?
The message is, that you always have to stay true to yourself and that you have to do whatever you want to do with your life and not to try and live up to expectations of others.
Your song makes our feet move!!! What do you expect from the Eurovision Song Contest?
That’s exactly what I want, I want to see the audience dance on my song! I hope it’s gonna be one big party during the performance!
How do you feel with this representation? You are the face of Belgium in whole world this year, do you feel pressure?
I think it’s a honour to represent your country, but of course I want to make Belgium proud, so I’m gonna do the best I can! Maybe even more! ;)
What else should we know about Laura except her great talent in music and singing?
I talk and laugh a lot! I love performing and being on stage but beside that I just love life and I wanna enjoy every second of it. And I am addicted to sneakers haha mostly Nike’s
I hope you live your dream in Stockholm this May and make all your dreams reality. Before we close do you want to give a message to your Greek fans?
Thank you so much! I hope I can make all your feet move and by the way: I love Greek food! J
Thank you very much for this interview! You are the absolute positive energy! I wish you the BEST in the stage of Eurovision in Stockholm, Sweden in the second semi-final at the 12 th of May, and I hope all your dreams come true!
