Moldovan Delegation
eurovision.tv: Natalia and Arsenium, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. Can you tell us a bit about how you met and decided to perform as a duo?
A: I actually didnt write the song Loca especially for Eurovision. I wrote it during a promo tour with O-Zone in Spain and I needed a girl to sing with me so I chose Natalia.
eurovision.tv: Natalia, you majored in biology, maths and chemistry. But then you started a successful career as a singer. What will you be focusing on in the future?
N: [Laughing] Maybe both, you never know. I could be a singing biologist!
eurovision.tv: Are there any plans for you two to stay togetheras a duo after Eurovision?
N & A: We might cooperate in the future, but really we are independent artists.
eurovision.tv: How do you prepare for Eurovision? What is your rehearsal schedule like?
N & A: Every day we rehearse our singing and dancing.
eurovision.tv: Arsenium, the whole of Europe knows you as the front man of O-Zone and everyone can hum Dragostei din tei. What are your significant memories from that time?
A: My whole career with O-Zone was significant, interesting and important.
eurovision.tv: Arsenium, your sister seemed to be your first fan. How would she describe your first steps in the music biz? Is she still that supportive?

eurovision.tv: Arsenium, youve written Loca, the Eurovision entry. Can you tell us a bit about the song, your choice of language and the music?
A: Its a song about love between a boy and a girl who go a little bit crazy when they meet each other. I used words from the Spanish language, because only in Spanish could I find the words for to say I wanted to say in this song
eurovision.tv: Of course, we all want to know who is Loca? Did you have one special person in mind?
A: Every girl is Loca, and every boy is Loco when they fall in love. Now I am looking for my Loca and I hope to find her at Eurovision.

eurovision.tv: And if a little fairy could grant you your innermost wish, apart from winning Eurovision, what would it be?
