Latvia will be represented by a well-known artist this year - Intars
Busulis who will perform his song not in Latvian or English, as expected
but in Russian! Find out more about this creative genius!
Intars Busulis was born on the 2nd of May 1978 and is now a well-known
Latvian jazz and pop musician and actor. In 2008, Intars along with composer
Karlis Lacis released his first solo album with original songs in Russian
and Latvian. He performed songs from the album in concerts across Latvia.
For months, one of his songs, Brivdiena topped radio and TV charts. In
2009, he's already received several important Latvian musical awards and
is working on a new solo album in English.
This year, Intars and Sweetwaterz won the Latvian national selection
for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Probka (Traffic Jam). In
2006, Intars finished second performing Karlis Lacis' and Sergejs Timofejevs'
hit, Gonki.
In 1999, he launched boy band Caffe with Raimonds Tigulis. Four years
later, he went solo in order to find a musical style of his own. During
the same period, he also played in the National Armed Forces brass band
and jazz group Wet Point. |
