Jacques Houdek was chosen internally by HRT to represent Croatia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. He will compete with his song “My Friend” in the second semi final in Kiev on the 11th of May.

Together with the song, Jacques started a campaign #beMyfriend which celebrates friendship, the joy of life and the priceless treasure that is based on love, trust and reciprocal respect.

In an exclusive interview with ESCBubble, Jacques was telling us about the concept of his Eurovision entry “My Friend”, what message he wants to spread to the world with his song, as well as what he is most looking forward to in Kiev. Check out everything he told us right here in this video:
