-Favourite singer and song:
I don't necessarily have a favourite singer but an all time favourite would surely be Celine Dion but however my favourite song would be 'Wherever you will go' by The Calling.
-Favourite local singer and song:
My favourite local singer is much more of a band than a singer and that would have to be the band 'Airport Impressions' and my favourite song would have to be 'Marigold' by Winter Moods
-How long have you been involved in music:
I have been involved in music since 2010.
-Goals in music:
As a singer i would really like to continue studying music and find opportunities abroad which are not found here in Malta.
-A standard routine before performing:
Before a performance I normally go through some vocal exercise as to get warmed up and than go through the song I'm about to sing just to make sure everything sounds good.
-Name another 'Konkors kanzunetta' you admire:
I really admire Frans Bezzina with the song 'Nahfirlek'. His song carries quite a delicate theme where as a singer he had to put himself in the victim's position who had to find the courage to forgive his aggressor who brought him nothing but harm. I admire him as he managed to portray the powerful message of the song in a quite professional and realistic way.
-Whats your opinion regarding the music industry in Malta:
Apart from the fact that I think that the music industry in malta has room to grow as to cater for all the talented singers one can find in Malta I believe that the Maltese music industry does offer opportunities for local artists if one does search closely.
-Do you believe in collaborations and who would you do it with:
Yes I do believe in collaborations as it will help a singer to grow more as an artist both in music and knowledge. I think one artist that i would wish to collaborate with on a local scale would surely have to be Errol Sammut from the band Airport impressions and on an international level I would enjoy a duet with Michael Bublé
-How would you celebrate if you win 'Konkors kanzunetta Inipendenza'?
I would probably have a good night out with my friends and all of those who supported me throughout this journey.
Your Message to Music News Malta followers?: I would like to Thank all those people who are supporting me and believing in me .
