Séverine Ferrer, who represented Monaco at the Eurovision Song Contest of 2006, has given an interview to French media in which she touches upon her time in the Contest and discusses her future ambitions.

A mother of two children, who celebrated her 37^th birthday on 31^st October, Séverine Ferrer has spent the last few years working extensively in radio and theatre, with a starring role in a tour of The Vagina Monologues amongst many of her credits.  On 23^rd March 2014, Séverine was also elected to serve on the municipal Council of the French town Chatou.

When asked about Eurovision, an experience Séverine has previously described as “the best memory of her career”, and future musical aspirations, Séverine answers:

I recorded a self-titled debut album in 2004, I’m not saying I will not repeat, but I have other priorities at the moment, especially the theatre. The song is the activity that requires me to have more strength, more energy, and also generates fear and anguish, in the sense that I feel to me really naked; so that when one is playing a role.. behind (the) character is a different approach. (Musically) I come back only if I feel the need.
