MP and musician Stig Rästa has admitted that his dream of reaching the top of pop music is still alive. The 46-year-old artist, who has moved to the Swedish capital Stockholm, says he uses every opportunity to meet world-class music stars.

Over the years, Stockholm has become one of the world's most renowned music cities — many global pop hits originate there, and the city is home to numerous top producers and songwriters. Rästa has actively taken advantage of this opportunity, moving in circles where chart-conquering songs are created.

Rästa has previously gained recognition both in Estonia and internationally — he represented Estonia with Laura Põldvere at Eurovision in 2015 with the song "Goodbye to Yesterday", which achieved 7th place in the contest. Now it appears that the musician wants to take his international career to the next level, and Stockholm is the ideal platform for that.
