Technical requirements vary depending on your request, but the most essential is access to a power supply within 20 metres of the performance area.
Here’s the information we’d need about the venue:
- Name of the venue and a Google Maps link
- Whether the event is indoors or outdoors
- Confirmation that there’s a power supply near the performance area
- Details on accessibility and where we can bring in our equipment
- Parking availability and arrangements
It depends on the request—sometimes we provide our own sound system. However, for larger venues, we can arrange sound through a trusted third-party company to ensure the best quality.
"We can keep the vibe going by playing Spotify music before, after, and during breaks in our set. You're welcome to share your own playlist, or we can take care of the music selection for you.
One of the most memorable gigs I’ve ever done was performing in Abu Dhabi in 2024, where I was invited to represent Malta during a series of prestigious events for Malta’s National Day. It was an incredible honour to perform both as a violinist and vocalist in such a vibrant setting, in collaboration with the Maltese Embassy and Ambassador in the UAE.
Another standout experience was in 2022, when I had the privilege of performing in Bethlehem, Palestine, as part of a high-profile event celebrating Malta. That opportunity also came through coordination with the Maltese Embassy and Ambassador, and it was deeply moving to represent my country in such a historically rich and meaningful location.
Both experiences were unforgettable—artistically, culturally, and personally.
I genuinely enjoy a variety of events, but I have a special love for performing during wedding masses and receptions—the atmosphere is always filled with emotion and celebration. That said, I also thrive at larger events where the goal is to energise the crowd and get people moving. Whether it’s creating a heartfelt moment or hyping up a lively crowd, I love adapting my performance to suit the occasion.
I began gigging at a young age and quickly fell in love with performing. I’m proud to say I’ve been going strong for over eight years now.
I’m inspired by a wide range of artists across many genres since I enjoy all kinds of music. However, if I had to pick one favorite, it would be Adele—her voice and emotional depth really resonate with me. My favorite song is her cover of "Make You Feel My Love." Although it’s technically a cover, her version is incredible and has a special place in my heart.
I typically arrive about an hour before the performance to set up and ensure everything is ready. If the event runs behind schedule, we’re happy to extend our playing time by an extra 15 minutes at no additional cost. Beyond that, any extra time will incur an overtime charge for every additional 30 minutes played, provided we’re available to continue.
We’re comfortable performing outdoors as long as there’s a shaded area, a stable, even surface to set up on, and nearby access to power.
We’re happy to learn specific songs in advance, typically up to five tracks. Clients can either select a setlist from our existing repertoire or leave the music selection to us.
Previous clients most commonly describe my performances as heartfelt, engaging, and professional. They often highlight the ability to create a warm and memorable atmosphere, whether for intimate ceremonies or lively events. Many appreciate the blend of musical skill and genuine passion that makes each performance unique and enjoyable.
