Junior Eurovision: Erik Rapp composed his song with Johan Jamtberg’s help

2011 Junior Eurovision’s Sweden contender is glad to participate at Yerevan-hosted contest.

Erik Rapp named outdoor games with his friends as his favourite pastime.

The young singer loves Moulin Rouge musical and composed the song to be performed at the contest with the help of well-known composer Johan Jamtberg.

As opposed to other contestants, Erik doesn’t dream of performing at adult Eurovision, believing the responsibility too high.

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest was established in 2003. In 2010, the contest was broadcast live from Minsk, Belarus, where young talents between 10 and 15 from 14 countries showed their skills.

Armenia has participated in the contest since 2007, when it was represented by Arevik (Sun) Armenian group, winning the 2nd place. In 2008 Monika Manucharyan with her song ranked 8th. Luara Hayrapetyan representing Armenia in Eurovision 2009 again won the second place sharing it with a singer from Belarus, Roman Voloznev. In 2010, Vladimir Arzumanyan with his song Mama brought Armenia a smashing victory.

This year Dalita with her song “Welcome to Armenia” will represent Armenia performing the 4th.
