What are the favourite lyrics of your song?
"Waar we ook wonen, we kijken naar dezelfde maan." It means that no matter where we live, we’re all looking at the same moon. This is my favourite lyric in our song because the other UNITY girls and I don’t live close to each other. But despite the distance, we’re still really good friends. Just like in our song.

How and when did you start with music?
When I was 6 years old, I joined a theatre school just for fun. When I realized how much I loved it, I decided to work hard for it. And now I’m here, joining the Junior Eurovision Song Contest!

Dutch singers Maan and Davina Michelle.

Maud

Facts about Maud

What are the favourite lyrics of your song?
My favourite lyrics part from our song is: "Op elke afstand staan we sterk, zo klein we lijken". This means "Despite the distance, we’re strong. Even if we’re still kids." This is because we live far away from each other, across the whole country. And although we’re small girls, when we’re together, we can achieve everything we want.

How and when did you start with music?
I started singing and performing when I was very young. When I was 6 years old, I started singing lessons and I’ve never stopped doing it. Singing, dancing and acting are my greatest passions.

Who are your idols?
My idol is the Dutch artist Maan. I really love her style of music and she has an amazing voice.

How would you celebrate a Junior Eurovision victory?
I would stay up late and have a great party with the Unity-girls and our families. It would make us so proud!!

How do you 'Move The World'?
I would move the world by letting all the people do what they like to do the most. And have a free world, with equal rights and respect for everyone, because we’re all humans!

Lyrics of Best Friends

We zijn verbonden
Waar ter wereld ik ook ben
Jullie zijn bij me
Het voelt bijzonder
Op elke afstand staan we sterk
Zo klein we lijken
Kunnen we iets groots bereiken
Beste vriendschap brengt ons
Elke grens voorbij

You are my best friends
At every distance
Let us sing
Let us shine and
We will unite
You are my best friends
And every moment
That we share
We take care and
We get together now
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Best Friends
Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Best Friends

Waar we ook wonen
We kijken naar dezelfde maan altijd united
Al onze dromen
Samen maken we ze waar
Zelfs met het kleinste
Kunnen we iets groots bereiken
Beste vriendschap brengt ons
Elke grens voorbij

You are my best friends
At every distance
