United Kingdom: Sam Ryder wraps up his 2022 journey with NME

In an amazing interview with NME Magazine, United Kingdom's Eurovision star, Sam Ryder discusses his past musical entries, his rise to fame via Tik Tok and of course, his Eurovision Song Contest journey.

Discussing the impact the contest has had on his career, Sam Ryder reflected by his gut instinct was to say yes to accepting the BBC and TaP Music's offer to be the United Kingdom representative in 2022 because he’s a massive Eurovision fan.

"The more I thought about it, the more I realised I was at the perfect point in my journey to throw all my chips on the table..."

He goes on to say that the Eurovision Song Contest is more than just the three minute performance that takes place on stage stating:

“It’s about respecting this institution,” he says earnestly. “It’s been around for longer than anything else on television and the viewership speaks for itself.”
