Alexander Rybak - singer, violinist and actor (Norway)

''I speak out against discrimination because people have the right to learn. And it´s quite stupid to throw those rights in the garbage by discriminating against other people instead of trying to understand them and learn from other cultures, sexes and races. In my opinion, that would be a win / win situation.''

The singer-composer, violinist, and actor Alexander Rybak, 23 is well-known for his Eurovision Song contest victory in 2009 on behalf of Norway. The Minsk-born artist has also enjoyed pop chart success in Russia and Norway.''
