SKOPJE, FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA – Daniel painted a vivid picture through his animated video for ‘Autumn Leaves’ . He took us on a journey through his childhood, where he was born, his first love and more importantly his first heartbreak. BUT the story remains unfinished. Why unfinished? Daniel wants you – the fans – to decide the final version of the video and the fate of its character!

‘Autumn Leaves’ embodies this year’s Eurovision spirit of #BuildingBridges, as the song was written by the Swedish composer Joacim Persson and produced by the FYR Macedonia composer Robert Bilbilov. The song has grown immensely since we first heard it at Skopje Fest and that is because Daniel and the team want to create a ‘special moment’ on the Eurovision stage in Vienna.

Daniel wants you to know that his performance of ‘Autumn Leaves’ at Eurovision will have a ‘surprise element’ to it that he has not announced yet! All will be revealed live on the Eurovision stage in Vienna but Daniel wants you to know that he is rehearsing this surprise both day and night just for you.

Daniel is now excited to begin #BuildingBridges with Eurovision Fans and his fellow Eurovision Contestants as he embarks on a promotional tour for ‘Autumn Leaves’ He will be attending the Pre-Eurovision events in London, Amsterdam and Moscow and hopes to add in more cities if the fans want to meet him.

“I can’t wait to feel this Eurovision magic and start #BuildingBridges around Europe and beyond – All My Love, Daniel”
