Rasmussen

It takes a special kind of man to take a song that has been rejected in Sweden, make it his own, crush the opposition in the Danish pre-selection and then bring it with confidence to the Eurovision. That man is Jonas Rasmussen.

The song "Higher Ground" tells the story about a pacifist viking, and nobody can deny that Rasmussen both looks and acts the part, with his long hair and beard and gentle disposition. In this conversation he tells us about his Eurovision experience and how he got there.

We also get to listen to new music he has released since, he explains why he has chosen not to continue with the viking theme, and reveals some favorite songs from Eurovision history.

A Great Singer and a Great Eurovision Performance.

I have been a Eurovision fan since '87, and I have watched annually ever since. Except 2020 because of covid, but everyone missed that year. Rasmussen took part 2018 with a song called, "Higher Ground," and I heard it first in the Danish pre-selection for Eurovision. When I heard that song I knew it would go to Portugal, which was the host country for that year, and it was the only song that I wanted to win in the Danish pre-selection
