Creative engine running with the @uudenmusiikinkilpailu family🦌🇫🇮🤍

🇪🇸 ¿Por qué no ha dirigido @sergiojaeen ninguna propuesta de España en @eurovision ? ☎️ “Sí he recibido llamadas y RTVE ha estado detrás de mí, pero nunca he podido por otros trabajos” 😎 Y se demuestra con que es el nuevo director artístico de @benidormfest_rtve . Y con esa actitud vital, va a llegar muchísimo más lejos.
