What message does your song give? My song reflects upon a story of someone deceased whom 'I' keep close to my heart thanks to the readings from his/her diary.
Do you like to compete in Festivals? Why/Why Not?: Yes, through festivals I get to meet new people; Festivals also give me great new experiences and opportunites.
This Festival supports our native tongue. Do you prefer to sing in Maltese, English or another language? I don't have any preferences. I love both languages and I would also take the challenge to sing in other languages such as German amongst others.
Which is your favourite Maltese Song of all time?: Ismaghni Ftit Habib
And your favourite International Song of all time?: I have many favourites one of which is 'The Phantom of The Opera' soundtrack.
Who inspires you as an Artist?: Beyonce, Bruno Mars etc..
Would you share highlights from your music career during the last 12 months? : Mainly being a finalist in Ghanja Tal-Poplu is the biggest achievment during the past months and I also participated in Konkors Kanzunetta Maltija as a backing vocalist.
What are your goals in music ? : My aim is to take every oppourtunity as a new experience and a stepping stone towards another experience :)
How much time per day do you spend on your music career ? : It cannot really be calculated since I don't have a particular routine.
If you had to choose another Artist to duet with, who would that be and why? It's hard to choose but probably I would duet with Andrea Bocelli if I had the opportunity since I admire him and his great passion while singing.
Do you have a message for the Music News Malta followers ? : Love music since it speaks a language of its own!
