How important is music to you/why: Music is my life, i am singer/songwriter/ producer and i don't have time for anything else except to be with my family and friends
Can you share with us something curious/funny which happened to you when performing: while me and my band was in vietnam performing for the soldiers during the war, after we finished and we were going home in a truck it was dark and scary suddenly a group of vietnamese soldiers blocked our way and we were all put to jail for breaking carefew and we had to spend 2 days in a very uncortable place and no foreign ambassador coul get us out..........
From the current *GTP finalists, who would you choose to duet with/why:
Michela galea because she is a great singer
A typical weekday for you from morning to night: Normally its music producing and now i am the owner of a community radio for RABAT MICS FM...son you can imagine..........
How do you like to spend your weekends: i wish i could do nothing but i am a workaholic
L-Ghanja Tal Poplu champions our national language. Do you think Malta should send a GTP winner to sing in Maltese at Eurovision one year and why/why not: Now being in europe we should show the europe of the world that we have a language of our own, there are places like Canada,America,Australia and they have'nt a language of their own, so i see no reason why we should not enter with our national language but unfortunately...............we want to try to win.....and we have'nt got enough neighbours/friends....maybe that could be the reason?
Your musical influences: All kinds of music, I like to be very versitile/and oribinal
Your inspiration in life: Beatles/George Benson/ Tom Jones
A message to the our readers?: Ghanja Tal Poplu hija vetrina tal- kanzunetti maltin, haga sabiha kieku izjed song/writers jiehdu sehem, halli inhallu il-lingwa sabiha tana tibqa dejjem ghal dejjem amen.
