Many ESC winners use their victory as a career boost. Not so Nemo Mettler alias Nemo (26).
The exceptional talent from Biel has taken his time - he went into himself to produce "Arthouse", his long-awaited debut album.
"I knew that when I was producing an album, I wanted to take my time. I want to make something that I love. That's the only way you can make people love it, if you love it yourself."
The recording of "Arthouse" pushed Nemo to his limits: "The last day in the studio was a horror, we stayed in the studio for 30 hours - without sleeping. I've never experienced that before. It also shows how much energy the music gives me."
