1. How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
I am a twin, I like traveling, I love playing soccer, I try to be the best I can be especially with others and finally, I love singing!
2. What first got you into music?
What got me into music is myself actually, since I was very young I loved singing and my family saw untapped potential. They wanted me to start singing lessons, but I’ve always been shy until now. Well I’m still shy! My girlfriend also pushed and encouraged me to give it my all which helped me throughout this competition. She’s my number 1 fan!
3. What has been the most surprising thing about X Factor Malta?
X Factor Malta is full of surprises from the beginning to the end, the most surprising thing is that it helped me to start believing in myself more. If there is someone out there who is shy, like me, and thinks they have what it takes to participate, I encourage them to do so its an amazing experience and it will help you grow!
4. Which song have you enjoyed performing the most so far, and why?
I enjoyed singing ‘A thousand years’ the most, I had some technical difficulties with ‘Angels’ and that spurred me to give my 100% for the next performance, which was ‘A thousand years’. I was super happy with the whole performance, plus I LOVE THAT SONG ❤️ It’s totally different from what I usually sing!
5. Who or what are some of your greatest influences in music? And if you could choose just one to collaborate with, who would it be?
My favourite artists are James Blunt , James Arthur , and Lewis Capaldi and if I had to choose a Maltese artist to collaborate with, it would definitely be Owen Leuellen!

Summer '26 in Malta is around the corner!
There is a very specific feeling that hits every Maltese person around late April. The sun gets a little warmer. The sea starts looking actually tempting. Someone in your group chat sends a flyer and says "we going?" and suddenly your entire summer is gone. Just like that. Booked.Welcome to Malta in summer, where the real question is never "is there anything happening?" but rather "how are we supposed to choose?"Because this island does not slow down between June and September. It actually does the opposite. Festivals pop up in old bastions. Rooftop parties appear out of nowhere. DJs fly in from places that are definitely further than Gozo. And every single weekend there are at least three things you want to go to, all on the same Saturday night, all starting at the same time.It is a good problem to have. But it is still a problem.

St. John’s Co-Cathedral, Revisited
"It's just a church" ...until it isn'tWe know how it goes. We've walked past St. John's Co-Cathedral a hundred times. Maybe more. It just sits there in the middle of Valletta, doing nothing dramatic, blending into the street like it's got nothing to prove. No flashing lights. No queue of people outside losing their minds. Just a big, quiet, slightly intimidating façade that makes you think, yeah, I'll go one day.And then one day you actually go inside.And then it hits you all at once.
