'''Stefan Galea''' (born 28 March 1996) is a Maltese singer. He was one of the 20 finalists competing in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with 'Light Up My Life' and contestant on the first season of The X Factor Malta.
	==Career==		==Career==
	~~In 2009 Galea made it to the finals of the Malta Junior Eurovision Song Contest with his entry "Shake Up Wake Up" written by~~ Stefan ~~and produced by Philip Vella~~ / ~~Sean Vella~~. ~~In January 2011 Galea's music was featured~~ in ~~Cannes, France~~ at a ~~music industry trade fair Midem alongside several local artists such as Lyndsay~~, ~~Explicit, Chris Grech (26 Other Worlds), Galea's song which was produced~~ by ~~James Forrest was presented to various labels and industry movers~~.		Stefan is a singer/songwriter bringing forward a theatrical flare to an alternative pop sound. He started his training in performing arts at a very young age at Masquerade Theatre Arts School, whilst continuing to further his vocal studies through assessments conducted by the Trinity College of Music.

	~~During this time Galea collaborated~~ with various ~~artists including Malta Music Award Best Hip Hop/ RnB winner Dimal~~. ~~He also was~~ a ~~support act for Ira Losco at her Music 4 Life concert~~ in 2011, ~~the UK's The Cheeky Girls,~~ and ~~also the Beatles tribute band~~.		His first major stage performance took place way back in 2009 as a Malta Junior Eurovision finalist. From the very beginning, he started experimenting with different genres of music, whilst having the opportunity to network with various international songwriters. As a result, in January 2011 Stefan’s first original music was featured alongside several local artists in Cannes, France during Midem – a music industry conference attended by various record companies and industry movers.

	~~Galea~~ also took the stage to perform live with rock band Texanna at the [[Farsons Beer Festival]] accompanied by Rock Guitarist from 80's rock band ~~FM "~~Andy Barnett~~", while also performing for the Italian Ambassador Mr. Andrea Trabalza~~. He also formed part of the ~~HSBC~~ Joseph Calleja Choir between 2010~~ ~~– 2012.		During this time he was one of the youngest opening support acts for Ira Losco’s anti-bullying concert ‘Music 4 Life’ aimed towards teenage students from all over the island. Stefan also took the stage to perform live with rock band Texanna at the Farsons Great Beer Festival; accompanied by Rock Guitarist from renowned 80's rock band ‘FM’ Andy Barnett. He also formed part of the Joseph Calleja Choir between 2010 – 2012.

	~~Galea's debut single "Disco Lemonade" written and produced by Charlie Mason & Crush Boys, charted at 12 on~~ the Maltese ~~iTunes Charts~~ whilst gaining ~~a fair amount~~ of ~~radio airplay and TV exposure~~. ~~Having also been a student at Masquerade theatre~~ and ~~performing arts school for ten years, he took part~~ in the MADC ~~Christmas panto "RapunzelStiltskin" written by Steve Hili & directed by Steve Casaletto~~.		Further experiences in the music / performing arts scene include participation in major Maltese TV shows. In 2016 he was a finalist for the Malta Eurovision Song Contest whilst also competing in the Maltese version of The X Factor, gaining 4 yeses from all four judges and making it as far as the Chair Challenge, with the top 10 artists in the groups' category under the direct mentorship of singer/songwriter judge Alexandra Alden. Theatre performance credits and roles in the yearly traditional panto include; 'Rapunzelstiltskin', 'Treasure Island, 'Cinderella' (MADC); 'The Little Mermaid' (FM Theatre Productions), and (KSU Students Fest) Sister Act.

	~~Galea has currently been working with~~ Carlo Gerada and ~~Matt "Muxu" Mercieca on his single "Escape" released in February 2015~~. The ~~song also charted on~~ the ~~Malta Top 10~~ charts ~~on 89~~.~~7 Bay~~ and ~~also on iTunes~~, and ~~at present Galea has also been busy with numerous gigs with his guitarist Kurt Aquilina~~.		His debut single release ‘Escape’ produced by Carlo Gerada entered 89.7 Bay’s top 10. Eventually, his first self-penned and composed EP ‘Disclosed Affairs' (2019) featured music produced by hit Maltese band Red Electrick's Peter Borg and Aleandro Spiteri Monseigneur. The first single from the EP titled ‘Close To You’ hit the radio airwaves whilst entering the local radio and iTunes charts. The artist's latest music project titled ‘Untrue’ (2021) was launched in collaboration with Gilkicker Music and Insynk Collective, this work highlighted a more progressive and abstract musical direction.

	~~March 2015, Galea released~~ his ~~first~~ music ~~video for the song "Escape" directed and produced by Angie and Duane Laus from We Media. He also took part in the Malta Summer Hit Song Contest 2015~~, ~~in which~~ he ~~placed second in the Maltese song category with "Xemx" (originally performed~~ by ~~The Tramps)~~. ~~In May Galea flew~~ to ~~Bologna~~, ~~Italy to audition for The X Factor, gaining positive feedback~~ on ~~his performance from~~ the ~~show's producer judges~~. ~~In December Galea once again returned~~ to the ~~theatre by taking part in the up-~~and~~-coming MADC panto "Treasure Island" written and directed~~ by ~~Malcolm Galea~~.		Besides his love for music, he is a middle school / sixth-form educator by profession. Following a long hiatus to focus on his University studies, he still kept on working and experimenting with music behind the scenes. Stefan felt 2023 would be an ideal time to return to the Malta Eurovision Song Contest to showcase his current sound.

			Stefan gets his musical inspiration from artists such as Troye Sivan, Two Feet, Disclosure, and Tove Lo amongst others. His music is often inspired by personal life experiences. He sees songwriting as a means of therapy to channel his inner emotions effectively.

	~~In 2016 Galea was also one of the 20 finalists for the Malta Eurovision Song Contest, with his song "Light Up My Life" which was written and composed by the Swedish sister duo Ylva & Linda Persson.~~
