Writers: Lyrics: Joe Chircop & Music: Mark Spiteri Lucas
Your favourite international singer and song?: Freddie Mercury & Bohemian Rhapsody
Your favourite local singer and song?: Singer: Pamela & Song: Nghix Biss Ghalik - Glen
How long have you been involved in music?: For these last 14 years.
What are your goals in music ? : My goals have always been to see people happy listening to my music no matter how many are there in front of me.
Do you have a standard routine before performing?: I usually make the sign of the cross 3 times before every performance (Don’t ask me why 3 times... I really don’t know )
Name another Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza Finalist you admire?: It has to be both Minik and Ina Robinich cause they are two very good friends and down to earth people who always make your day brighter!
What’s your opinion regarding the music industry in Malta? : I think music in Malta is quite limited due to a saturated market and few opportunities. Thank God for these festivals where one can express his/her original music.
Do you believe in collaborations? Who would you duet with? Yes sometimes a nice duet really sounds better than when singing solo. It really depends on both the singers, their chemistry and the matching of the voices. Locally, it would be nice to duet with either Errol (Airport Impressions) or Matthew (Red Elektrick)
How would you celebrate if you win Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza 2014?: I have no idea how I would celebrate. It would mostly be spontaneous although surely no shouting or screaming! It’s not really my style
Your Message to Music News Malta followers?: Thanks to all those who keep these websites alive by following the very interesting articles which encourage local musicians. On a personal note I wish to thank all those who in one way or another have helped me during these last years and all those who have encouraged me to continue my musical dream.
