The grand party Eurovision in Concert took place at the AFAS Live venue in Amsterdam last Saturday. Earlier on that day we had a pleasure to speak to the winner of this year’s UMK – Käärijä, who is going to represent Finland in Eurovision 2023 in Liveprool.

He came into the final of UMK as an underdog, but from the moment his song was revealed, he shot into the world like a canon ball! An unprecedented hype exploded in Finland, won the competition by an incredible margin, and it didn’t stop there! Even in this Eurovision’s edition he is one of the huge favourites! We at ESCBubble were very happy we got to talk to Käärijä about how this adventure started, the subsequent success of ‘Cha Cha Cha’ and we had to talk about his staging and iconic green bolero jacket too!

See the fun chat he had with Nathan below:

And give a listen to his banger ‘Cha Cha Cha’:
