1. Your real name is Tamara Diane Wimer. How did it change to Isis Gee? And is the name 'Isis' somehow inspired by the goddess from Egyptian Mythology?

When I first met my husband, he said that I reminded him of Isis... that I had her strength and healing qualities when he looked into my eyes. My music is created from Love, passion and deep feeling. I hope to inspire and encourage people, touching their hearts with the Love and purity of music. And our last name begins with the letter G which is where the name Gee came from.

2. As the songwriter of your own entry, 'For Life' - can you please tell us more about the theme of your song and what inspired you to write it? And was it intended for the Eurovision Song Contest?

I believe that we are all inspired by Love. So for me, writing this song out the Love I feel for my husband was as natural as breathing. I wrote "For Life" nearly a year ago. It was not intended as a Eurovision song entry, as I did not know of the contest until we very humbly received hundreds of emails from fans encouraging to submit a song. For Life was always very dear and close to my heart. I do hope to touch people deeply with it¹s message... which is ultimately about Universal Love on the deepest level.

3. 'For Life' has all the elements of a power-ballad which can easily hit the American charts. (Maybe Steve Dorff's influence is still leaving its effects in your songwriting). Will you eventually market your song as a new hit single in Europe - going beyond the 'Eurovision' boundaries? And are you planning a follow-up single?

I am so flattered by your kindness. For me, I just wish to touch peoples hearts through music. To help them feel and listen to their hearts, to reignite or perhaps awaken feelings that they may have forgotten about or misplaced. Very humbly people around Europe are calling For Life the wedding song of the year, which is such an honor. I am just so happy that people enjoy the song. I am in the process of recording a new cross over album which will ultimately embrace the feeling of 'For Life' and wish to share it with as many people who will open their hearts to it.

4. You have also taken part in beauty contests including the preliminaries for Miss America. Do you feel that 'looks' play an important role in today's music industry? And will this be an asset for your participation at the Eurovision Song Contest?

Thankfully, the Miss America pageant is not known as a beauty pageant, but as a scholarship pageant. It was an amazing opportunity for me to earn financial resources for college... along with increasing self esteem, with an emphasis of expanding knowledge of the world we live in. In my humble opinion, I feel that the music industry has reached an exhausting peak of focusing too much on peoples looks. I do hope that this will ultimately change and we can get back to real music with a profound message that goes well beyond how short your skirt is or how much you shake your body. It's about the music and this should be able to speak for itself, regardless what you look like.

5. At the age of 19 you toured with a Jazz-trio and featured on two jazz albums. What made you switch your music-genre back to the contemporary pop from jazz?

Because I was raised listening to and performing so many different styles of music, it was very natural for me to embrace music on every level. Jazz was something on the musical journey to becoming the artist I am today. I have always gravitated toward songs with good, strong choruses that people can sing along to, so I would say that I am home musically and as a result...Elegant Pop is where my heart truly is.

6. Last year you issued your debut album, 'Hidden Treasure'. Do you think this album helped you breakthrough the Polish music industry too and it eventually paid off by winning the Polish national final this year with the support of the Polish televoters?

I think that it was a combination of the Hidden Treasure album, good radio and tv support, along with my participation on Dancing with the Stars. To me, it is such an honour to be able to touch peoples lives in a positive way through entertainment.

7. Can you please tell us something about your preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest and what are we to expect from your stage performance? Will you have the string musicians, which featured in the video clip, on stage?

As like all of the contestants, we are rehearsing and preparing a nice stage show for the audience. We hope to touch peoples hearts with an unforgettable angelic feeling. At the moment, I can¹t tell you all of the specifics... but we believe that the performance will provide a very Loving climate.

8. Who is designing your 'Eurovision' dress? And will you carry on stage the idea of the 'Bride' similar to your 'For Life' video clip?

We have a wonderful designer working on something we believe to be spectacular. I will leave the details for you to see on the stage :)


9. What is your opinion about the other entries taking part in this year's Eurovision Song Contest? And do you have some favourites, apart from your own entry of course?

I believe that each and every artist involved has something truly wonderful to bring to the Eurovision contest. Isn¹t it amazing how much talent exists in the world? I feel so honored to be amongst all of them, as well as to take part in such an amazing contest.
 

10.   What do you think about the Maltese entry, Vodka and our singer Morena?

I think Morena is great.  You can sense that she has a lot of passion in her song. 

11.  Can you please send a message to all the Maltese Eurovision fans and visitors of OGAEMALTA.com?

Thank you so much OGAEMALTA for all of your support!  Looking forward to seeing you at Eurovision 2008!
