Your music is known for its unique blend of genres. Can you tell us more about the musical influences that have shaped your distinctive sound and style? 

 Being brought up listening to ’60s legends such as Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel and Johnny Cash, to name a few, has shaped my songwriting quite considerably. Since day one of my songwriting journey, a journey which started in my bedroom when I was around 15 years old, I have been inspired to write music which is not just for the ears but also the soul. 

Malta has a rich history of music and culture. How has your Maltese heritage influenced your songwriting and the themes you explore in your music?

 Rather than Malta as a country, I am more interested and inspired by people and their stories. I have often explored themes that revolve around experiences and encounters I have had with Maltese people throughout my life. 

You’ve had the opportunity to perform both locally and internationally. Could you share a memorable experience or encounter that has significantly impacted your career as a musician?

I must admit that I am fortunate to have ticked so many things off my bucket list. Performing abroad is special, as, in a way, you feel like you are swimming in the big ocean now, far from your comfort zone. However, one of my favourite memorable experiences would have to be the launching concert of an original album. 

Many of your songs have heartfelt lyrics and emotional depth. Can you discuss the creative process behind your songwriting and how you find inspiration for your lyrics?

I have no particular creative process or formula. There are days when I spend hours to no avail trying to come up with something. Then, there are other days when I write a song in a few minutes. Throughout my career, I have been inspired by many different experiences. However, if I had to pick a few recurring themes, hope, dreams and emotional struggles would be among the most common.
