Taylor Hynes will represent Ireland at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday with the upbeat and happy vibe of IOU.

Today he appeared relaxed and enjoying the occasion at the press conference for Ireland. He is happy with his rehearsals. In the first set of rehearsals on Tuesday he was uncomfortable wearing one jacket and it did not suit the cameras also. So he changed it and now he is feeling good.

He has received inspiring advice from previous Irish participants Zena (2016) and Aimee (2015). He also enjoyed making the video clip featuring previous Irish Eurovision contestants Niamh Kavanagh (1993 winner) and Ryan O’Shaughnessy (1028). He said it was a lot of fun.

Taylor is joined on stage by two amazing dancers from the Fit Kids Fit Teens Ireland dance academy. They are Abo Obhakhan and Daphney Ndjatang.
