Favourite Maltese and International Eurovision Song:
International - Euphoria
Maltese - Tomorrow
Favourite Movie of all time: Annie
Favourite holiday destination and why?: London because every time I went to London, it had always to do with my career. One time being X-factor, another being school applications, downtown audition etc…
Eurovision is a very important event for the Maltese people, yet other countries take it with a pinch of salt? What are your views?
Every country have its own event which is very important for them. For us, it’s Eurovision, for them it’s something else. Although I do believe, that keeping in mind that other countries are very bigger than ours, they do have much more opportunities than ours.
Besides yourself, who is your favourite act to win Malta Eurovision 2015?
I love them all but I can’t really judge till now so I am waiting to see all the live performances during rehearsal week.
Describe your feeling on ‘Xarabank’ TV show when you realized you had been chosen as one of the Finalists?:
After spending all those hours working on a song which you and your team really believe in and finally you hear your song on Xarabank, it’s indescribable!!
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?:
I can’t really tell if they should consider or not as it depends on what they aspire for the future.
Can you tell us of any curious/funny incidents you may have had whilst performing?
I once forgot the lyrics and kept on singing the same verse!! lol
Why should the Maltese public vote for your song to represent Malta in 2015?:
My team and I are working really hard on this and we really believe in my song. Also, it is based on an experience which really happened and so it may give motivation to the people listening. I think we have all it takes!!
