Episode 6: Gabry Ponte

Gabry Ponte is one of the world’s most successful DJs but he is now taking on a huge new challenge as he competes at the Eurovision Song Contest.

His entry Tutta L’Italia was used as part of the Italian Sanremo Music Festival, but it’s now been chosen to represent San Marino in Basel.

Gabry chats to Steve about the journey of his anthem and his excitement about competing in Switzerland. He also talks about his time in Eiffel 65, when he created one of the biggest dance tracks of all time: Blue (Da Ba Dee).

The Official Eurovision Song Contest podcast is produced and presented for the EBU by Steve Holden. The music is composed by Will Kitchener. Design by Ángela Espejo & Chris Fox.
