Malta’s very own pop queen Ira Losco’s career breakthrough came in 2002, when she represented Malta in the the Eurovision Song Contest with the hit song 7th Wonder, where she placed second in the competition, achieving Malta’ best ever result and thus becoming a household name. Losco has released six studio albums so far in her career, and is one of the most successful local musicians of all-time.
To date Losco has performed in over 25 countries and has won more than 20 music awards. She has appeared in front of audiences ranging from 1,000 to 80,000, and has played alongside renowned international acts such as Elton John, Maroon 5, Akon, Mel C, Ronan Keating, Bob Geldof, Tokio Hotel and Gigi D’Alessio. She even collaborated with Jason Derulo in the 2018 FIFA World Cup anthem. She excelled as one of the judges and mentors in season one and two of X Factor Malta as well as season one of Malta’s Got Talent. The artist is a dominant force on the local music scene and we don’t need to wonder why she’s returned for the third season.
