Sarah Dawn Finer: Artist, songwriter, singer, actress.
Born, brought up and living in: Stockholm, Stockholm and still in Stockholm.
Born, brought up and living in: Stockholm, Stockholm and still in Stockholm.
Musical role model: So many. Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, Bonnie Raitt, Freddie Mercury, Eva Cassidy, Billie Holliday amongst others.
Where did you write this song: We wrote the music at Fredrik Kempe's house and on his piano. Most of the lyrics came about whilst traveling to my countryhouse.
What did you want to be when growing up: Big.
Dream duet partner: Elvis and Stevie Wonder.
Favourite food: Asian.
Favorite domestic object: My self-designed couch, my computer, my heated bathroom floor, my TV, my Ps3 and my bed...
A memorable life event: Life? - wow, unfortunately I have no memory of actually being born... Work - the very first time I performed my very own music live, this as supporting act to Gavin Degraw in Stockholm and Gothenburg 2005. The next day I performed the same song on stage together with Putte Wickman on his last tour. Björn Skifs sang back-up on my song! Two great worlds in history combined...
Previous entrance in the Eurovision Song Contest: As a debutante in 2007 Sarah participated with her own song "I Remember Love".

Sarah Dawn Finer "Moving on"
Sarah, you're entering the Eurovision Song Contest again, why?
- I have just made a fantastic new album and this is by far the best opportunity to show people I'm back. Plus I did so well last time... We have also written a really great song that I long to perform. I have been asked over and over to enter the competition again and am thrilled that people want me back.
What can you tell us about the song?
- Fredrik Kempe wrote me Eurovision songs long before my first entry in 2007, and I was immensely moved by this. I so appreciate that he wanted to collaborate with me. And it seemed like an excellent allegiance - with me usually just making my own music, and Fredrik who writes mainly for this contest. He immediately understood what I was after. Fredrik is a super trouper and an incredibly talented musician.
Your song differs distinctly to what Kempe normally writes for ESC...?
- Upbeat melodies is what generally has been selected for this contest. With this song Fredrik now gets to present his significance and wide range of musical craftsmanship.
Does it matter where you get to perform this year?
- Possibly. Still, anything could happen along the way so what city it all goes down in is of less importance. I wouldn't mind enter in a great city and in a not quite so great round... preferably in the final weeks. To rise and fall in the primary week could happen. If so I would just have to rise right back up again and keep moving on...
