Mallusk musician Scott Mac is flying high, after the success of his collaboration with two other artists in Poland.
Their song "All Night" is a hit in the Eastern European country and Scott, real name Scott Macauley, told Belfast Live it feels like a "breakthrough" moment for him.
He also revealed the song's genesis, with it being born from working on a song with artist Tribbs, for Switzerland for Eurovision.

"He's a Polish producer and he was one of the artists with Unified Songs, where I'm signed to as well," Scott said.
"We just got on really well and he just asked me after the session did I want to write and record a song with him.
"We wrote it over Zoom in January and that was the song, it was so random to come from Eurovision to that really.
"I didn't actually know it was going to be released until about April, then they got another big DJ on called C-BooL on.
"He was quite big in the 90s in Poland, so he came on and then we got a release date for October."
The song has taken off and Scott says it has been quite an adjustment to get used to seeing his own work out there.
"Three days in a row it's been number one on the radio chart on what would be the Polish equivalent of say Cool FM," he said.
"It's at nearly 300,000 streams on Spotify and it has about 700,000 views on YouTube.
"Last month I had 64 monthly listeners and now I have 120,000 so it's just absolutely exploded, it's been class.
"I've never really had anything big from the original music so it just kind of feels like a bit of a breakthrough with this."
He also said it is harder to believe because that popularity is largely linked to Poland, so it can be hard to process.
"I've a friend from Poland and she was talking to her family about it and they were saying to her 'oh my God, you lived with Scott Mac, can we meet him?' and all, so it's just crazy," he laughs.
"It feels so weird because here, there's not been much radio play here and over in Poland then it's crazy.
"It's just trying to make people over here aware of it as well."
He said his work at Unified has been a catalyst, having tried the more traditional routes of finding success within the fiercely competitive music industry.
"I've been with that publisher writing songs for loads of different artists around the world, Finland, Germany and other places.
"I would have played around bars and stuff, but this is just a whole new world of song writing, like it's just a complete network of people.
"I wrote with a guy who was Scottish but was living in Denmark and he had written for the likes of Machine Gun Kelly and Charlie Puth.
"It can be hard connecting with people over Zoom but it has been so much fun meeting these people."
Next on the horizon is a trip to Warsaw to work on a follow-up collaboration with Tribbs and from there, the sky's the limit.
