Ben Gray's Story

Hey there, thanks for dropping by. I'm Ben, from Hertfordshire, ("hart-fud-sheer" for the foreigners,) which is close to London in the United Kingdom. I am a student in Video Games Design at Buckinghamshire New University, where I work with 3D graphics and animation, produce and direct my own short films and study the theory and practice of the digital arts and the creation of video games. It's a very exciting and fun career path to be following and I hope to run my own development studio in the future.

I'm still fairly new to Eurovision - only known about it since 2005, and only followed it since 2007. One big reason I love Eurovision is - shock horror - music! I am very passionate about music, but not in a way that makes me want to play an instrument, if you know what I mean.

Eurovision makes an excellent platform for me to find new music and artists I like, and some artists I discover in the preselections or even the contest proper lead me on to buying more of their songs and becoming a fan. Eurovision and all the pre-selections are a treasure chest of great songs, (and awful ones!) in an eclectic range of styles.

Then of course there's the show. The incredible stages, the ocean of waving flags, I just love it all, and yet I am part of what seems like a rare breed....heterosexual male Eurovision fans!

I want to see Eurovision hosted in London, Paris, Reykjavik, Lisbon, Bern, Rome, Tbilisi and Yerevan. Hopefully one of these cities will be hosting in 2013. :)
