Greece: “It’s more than a song, it’s a movement”. ESC United speak to FreakyFortune about ‘rising up’ through economic difficulties, performing at London Eurovision Party, and get an exclusive preview of their semi-final performance.
ESC United caught up with this year’s Greek entry – FreakyFortune and RiskyKidd, before they performed at the London Eurovision Party.
Standing on a balcony looking over Leicester Square, the boys, who had just arrived in London a few hours before the interview, looked fresh and relaxed, proudly modeling their #Rise Up T-shirts and shades.
FreakyFortune consists of duo Theo Pouzbouris and Nicolas Raptakis alongside rapper – RiskyKidd.
Theo is short and hopes to ‘rise up for every short person in Europe’.
Nikolaus is in love with Jessie J and hopes to marry her. Whilst RiskyKidd, originally from London, got his name from always being the risk-taker in the group.
Their magic collaboration begun when Theo and Nikolaus decided to ask RiskyKidd to rap on the song in the studio. Since then the chemistry has been perfect.
Their quiet confidence about the song and positive energy was obvious from the start of the interview.
Risky and Theo: “We all love the song and the chemistry is perfect between us. It’s more than a song, but a movement.”
Though the song has an infectious party vibe the boys were quick to emphasise the song’s deeper message.
Nikolaus: “It is a positive party song but also about the difficult times we’re going through. We want to pass a message to young people about being positive and creative and get over all the difficulties.”
RiskyKidd: “It’s more than a song, but a movement to rise up mentally not just physically and party.”
