Eurovision is a very important event for the Maltese people, yet other countries take it with a pinch of salt? What are your views?
other countries they take the Eurovision song contest with a pinch of salt cause they don`t understand it but for us Maltese is very important cause unfortunately it is the only big thing there is to promo your talent and now its like a national event that's why is very important .

Besides yourself, who is your favourite act to win Malta Eurovision 2015?
my favorite act besides me to win Malta Eurovision 2015 is who ever manage to give her or his hart and soul on stage and transmits lots of feelings and emotions to the PEOPLE like I do in every single show I do .

Describe your feeling on ‘Xarabank’ TV show when you realized you had been chosen as one of the Finalists?:
well when I got to know that I was one of the 20 finalists on xarabank I was really over the moon with joy cause after 2 long years I was given the opportunity to perform once again on a fantastic stage like the Malta Eurovision song contest .

Rumours had it that Ira Losco would submit a song this year!! Do you think established artists like Ira, Joseph Calleja, Ivan Grech (Winter Moods) and others should consider taking part in Malta Eurovision and why/why not?:
all I can say about this matter is that its their BIZ amd maybe their loss as well , am an established artist as well and am taking part .

Can you tell us of any curious/funny incidents you may have had whilst performing?
well I remember that once whilst performing I forgot all the lyrics of a song I was singing than I started to invent new once on the spot thank God am a song writer ha ! ha ! ha ! NO BODY NOTICED

Why should the Maltese public vote for your song to represent Malta in 2015?:
the Maltese public will surely vote for my song because it speaks about the ultimate and pure love story and its gonna hit every one in their heart and soul the moment they will hear it live .
