Clinton Bonnici Tal-Lupajp
is an improvised verse folksinger from Żejtun. Born on the 2nd December, 1981, he began folk singing spirtu pront at the age of 25, his first event being at Mario Portelli Ta' Perċitu's bar in Albertown. Bonnici is the nephew of Spiru Bonnici Il-Lupajp and the great-grandson of Anġla Mifsud Iċ-Ċalija.
Thus, folk singing was in his blood and it was an easier decision to take of continuing the tradition. He holds affection to veteran folk singer Fredu Abela Iż-Żejtuni, admiring his ability to respond well to his opponent's jibes in improvised verse, and Pawlu Seychell Il-Għannej, also from Żejtun. He states his favourite ballad being the one sung by Mikiel Cutajar Is-Superstar.
