French broadcaster France 2 held a press conference yesterday in which the 14 year old singer was introduced to the press, and sang her song for the contest live
The press conference is available to watch below, with the live performance starting at 34:24.
The young singer stated at the press conference that she’s “so looking forward to the moment when I enter the arena and discover the stage. I’m sure it will be a moment that I’ll never forget. I’m so excited to be able to share this experience with my dancers and with this audience from so many different nations.”
It was already revealed last week that Carla will be joined on stage by two female backing dancers, Albane and Louella, who are part of Sabrina Lonis’ dance team.
Carla will represent France at the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her song “Bim Bam Toi”. The singer was internally selected by the broadcaster after they received triple the amount of submissions compared to 2018.
