In autumn 2016 Alexander spoke in some interviews, that he wants to represent Russia at ESC with the mission of kindness and song, which can to reconcile Russia and Ukraine. Alexander was born in Zaporozhye in Ukraine.
A few days ago the musical producer of First Russian Channel, Yuriy Aksyuta, spoke in interviews, that Panayotov is the main candidate for Eurovision 2017. An official decision will be made soon.
