Jethro Offemaria

Hello, my name is Jethro Offemaria. I was born in the Philippines on the 3rd April 1990 and I am a Filipino immigrant. I'd like to be a British citizen.
I went to England on the 29th September 2000, that year Denmark won the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm in Sweden. My interest in ESC started when I first watched it in 2002 just before the football world cup started.
Apart from Eurovision, my interests are sports, computers, books, art and shopping.
And I wish I would like to be a future Eurovision singer.
