OIKOTIMES 🇸🇲 INTERVIEW WITH SERHAT

Описание: #oikotimes #eurovision #serhat #interview

SAN MARINO / TURKEY - To be honest there seems not to be any Eurovision fan singing and dancing SAY NA NA NA, the song with which SERHAT represented San Marino in Eurovision 2019.

Born and raised in Istanbul, Serhat started his producing career by establishing his own company in 1994, End Productions. In the same year, he also started to produce and host a quiz show on TRT called Riziko! (Turkish version of the American quiz show Jeopardy!).

In 1997, with his first single, "Rüya-Ben Bir Daha", his musical career began. Besides his other hosting and producing works, he continued his musical career and released "Total Disguise" (duet with Viktor Lazlo) in 2004, "Chocolate Flavour" in 2005, "I Was So Lonely", "No No Never (Moscow-Istanbul)" and "Ya + Ti" (Russian version of "Total Disguise", all of three songs were duets with Tamara Gverdtsiteli) in 2008 and "Je m'adore" in 2014.

He represented San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm singing "I Didn't Know" on May 10, 2016, in the first semi-final of Eurovision, but failed to qualify for the final. In 2017, the disco version of the song featuring Martha Wash was released.

This version reached to 25th place on Dance Club Songs chart by making Serhat the first Turkish singer that appeared on the chart. In 2018, a new version of "Total Disguise" featuring Elena Paparizou was released. He represented San Marino, for the second time in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv with "Say Na Na Na".

He performed in the first semi-final and qualified for the final by placing 8th. In the final, he placed 19th, the best result in Sammarinese Eurovision Song Contest history. A German-language version of the song "Sing Na Na Na" was released in 2019, and the Spanish-language version "Di Na Na Na" in 2020.

In our interview with Serhat, there were some interesting highlights

Serhat would love to make hid dream come true but unfortunately, she is not with us anymore, Dalida.
The challenge of recording songs in other languages, which so far are in total eight.
Would he return to Eurovision, especially if Turkey returns to Eurovision?
What does he think about the Eurovision voting system, especially since he is himself an organiser of a contest?
