Martin @martinxjonsson, Dancer

Do you have any favorite memories dancing?

I think my favorite dancing memory is when we performed at Eurovision 2016. We did a piece called Grey People, reflecting the refugee situation occurring in Europe. It was extremely powerful. The performance ended with us leaving the stage and the audience helping us climb over to them.

What's the biggest challenge you've faced along the way?

To try and always be on my A game. Always delivering my best even on a bad day.

What inspires you?

I'm inspired when I feel challenged. I would also say that friends, family, and the feeling of new opportunities inspires me.

Do you have any favorite quotes?

I have it tattooed on my collarbone - “Ambition is everything.”

What makes you stand out?

My determination.

What is your best strength?

My power of will.

What is your ultimate goal or motivator?

To be able to keep doing the things I love until I die.

What's your why?

The thing I love the most about dance and music is that I lose track of time. I get into a flow where all that matters is movement and the music I am moving to. It's an indescribable feeling.
