SAN MARINO 2018 CANDIDATE – KRZYSZTOF STER (Poland)

ESC Covers sent some questions to KRZYSZTOF STER of Poland who is a candidate in the San Marino 2018 selection. We got the answers back via his manager AGNES.

QUESTION ONE – TELL US ABOUT YOU
I deal with music in my everyday life. I’m a singer – I sing, I give concerts, but I’m also a musician, instrumentalist and composer, I play many instruments (I was once known as a drummer in many bands), I compose music, I write lyrics, I create music videos, but I’m also an actor and an extra ( I play in TV series, programs, music videos and I took part in many different productions). Generally I’m a one man circus. And I’m a collector. I gather American cars and cowboy boots, I currently have 50 pairs of them;). I could write a lot of other things, because since my childhood I’ve been connected to the world of performing arts. I have sung since I was a child, then I practiced ballroom dance, then I learned playing many instruments. I’ve played a lot of concerts in my life. Being on stage is the most important thing for me and I chose this as a way to live. It is not easy but I do my best. I am inspired by a variety of music such as opera arias, rock’ n’ roll or dance music, and for a good reason I am considered “one of the best Elvis Presley voices in Poland”. That is why I invent everything on my own, I do not draw inspiration from anyone else’s performances, I try to develop everything, even the appearance on the stage.

QUESTION TWO – WHY DID YOU APPLY FOR SAN MARINO
I applied to the San Marino’s pre-selection, because the process of application was easy to understand, everything was well described and clear. Unfortunately in my country everything must be difficult and till this day there is no information whether the pre-selection will take place. Besides, I think that you need to expand your options, which is why I considered this to be my next career path.

QUESTION THREE – WHAT LANGUAGE WILL YOU CHOICE IS YOU ARE THE SAN MARINO CANDIDATE
If I am chosen, I could sing in Polish but I would rather sing in English, as a language spoken globally.

QUESTION FOUR – WOULD YOU CONSIDER A DUET RATHER THAN SOLO
Yes, I would consider this. I used to sing in a duo with the Polish opera diva, so it is not a problem for me.

At the same time, I invite you to my fanpage:
