Keith Zammit born on 21 May 1983 (lyricist)
Keith had been writing songs since he was 16, and has always looked forward to learn more about writing, by listening to Maltese and even International songs. He listens carefully to the lyrics and the rhythm of how they sound. In fact, a year after he started writing, Keith was accepted as a member of the PRS for Music, which is a worldwide society, representing lyricists, composers and publishers based in London.
Keith wrote several songs that entered in local festivals and had very satisfying results, placing amongst the first three in most of them, and even winning some Overalls. After these (in 2003) he submitted songs in the Festival l-Għaqda l-Melodija and had a song chosen as a finalist in Section A. In the same year, Keith managed to win Section E of the Drydocks Festival with the song "Droga Qerrieda" performed by Isabelle Zammit and from there onwards he never looked back.
Lately in 2006, Keith wrote the lyrics of the Ħamrun Girl Guides Anthem, commemorating their 60th Anniversary, of their official launch, namely ‘Sittin Sena Ta’ Ħidma’. He also wrote an anthem for ‘Our Lady of Victory’ Feast Celebrations namely ‘O Marija Bambina’ performed by Kimberly Grech and composed by Mro.Carmelo Muscat. Another anthem he wrote is ‘Festa Kbira Nagħmlu F’Ismek’ for the feast of Saint Andrea of Ħal Luqa. This anthem was composed by Dominic Cini and performed by Fabrizio Faniello. Other anthems were written including one for the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes celebrated in Qrendi, entitled ‘Ad Unurek Madonna ta’ Lourdes’ and another for the Central Racing Pigeon Club – Mosta, namely ‘Iċ-Champions ta’ Malta’ on the occasion of becoming Overall Champions of Malta as a racing pigeon club. The former hymn was recorded by Kaya and the latter by Dominic Cini.
