One of Destiny’s big achievements included her win in the Sanremo Junior Malta 2014 where she won the right to represent Malta in Sanremo for the International Grand Finals in the Ariston Theatre in May. There she was accompanied live by the symphonic orchestra of Sanremo under the direction of Mro Ten. Col. Leonardo Lasserra Ingross and under the patronage of Cav. Uff. Paolo Alberti. She competed against different countries but she emerged victorious for Malta by winning the overall Grand Prix of the 5th edition of this competition.

Destiny is always on the lookout for a challenge and in September 2014 she had the opporunity to participate in the Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza Junior with her first original track ‘Festa T’Ilwien’ which is written by Emil Calleja Bayliss to Mark Spiteri Lucas composition. This also happened to be the first time Destiny was singing a song in Maltese and she managed to achieve third place in this prestigious song festival, quite a feat for the young performer.

Later on, Destiny also managed to win the ‘Singer of the Year’ in a competition organized by ErSeb Productions and by virtue of winning the competition she won the right to represent Malta in FYR of Macedonia in October of 2014. Her participation in the ‘Asterix Original Song Festival’ was another success as she emerged victorious with her original entry ‘Live & Let Live’, once again penned by Emil Calleja Bayliss and composed by Mark Spiteri Lucas. The festival itself is well known in Eastern Europe as many know it as the Junior Eurovision of the East, in fact there were fifteen countries competing.

Destiny keeps on thriving to better herself and she is well focused on her career. She has a number of upcoming events planned both locally and also beyond our shores. Her outgoing, bubbly and kind hearted and determined character helps her in many ways. Her dream is to continue improving within her area of expertise and hopes that one day she becomes a great music artist.

The piano has always been an instrument which fascinates Destiny and in fact she is looking forward in starting lessons in the near future because she knows that this will help her further her music knowledge. For her young age, Destiny is very mature and knows that in order for one to succeed in this industry one needs to sacrifice a lot, work hard and always strive in being better whilst staying firmly grounded which can easily be considered her life motto.
