At the time of the preselections he was the youngest contestant at eight years old.

In the opening show he performed together with Attic and Clouseau.His winning song "Een Tocht Door Het Donker" ("A Journey Through The Dark"), produced by Peter Gillis about a walk in the woods with his grandfather, was released as a single on 13 October 2006 and entered several national music charts.
