Three years ago Estonian songwriter Stig Rasta stumbled across a video on YouTube featuring a girl singing the Christina Aguilera's song ‘Cruz’. It was Elina. "I was completely charmed by her musicality” remarks Stig.

We are extremely proud and happy to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest

Elina was at school when a message from the famous songwriter popped into her inbox on Facebook. "To be honest, I started crying. It took me a couple of days to gather the courage to write back," Elina recalls.

The rest is history. And 79% of Estonian viewers can't be wrong. That was the huge percentage win that Estonian voters handed ‘Goodbye to Yesterday’ in their national finals. The very same song that waited for years in Stig's drawer for just the right moment and just the right partner.
