Bulgaria: No Mess for Kristian

Bulgaria has staged one of the biggest Eurovision comebacks of recent memory – the rise of Poli Genova in 2016 and now one of 2017’s favourites.

Kristian Kostov is the youngest contestant this year, but what he lacks in years, he makes up for in vocals. He sat down with Michael to explore what it’s like to be on stage and his fondness of Australia’s own Isaiah.

Plus, find out which young, award-winning Australian artist the Beautiful Mess singer would love to collaborate with.
