His national debut in Malta took place at Malta Eurosong 2010 alongside Priscilla Psaila, singing Waterfall by Mark Debono and lyricist Rita Pace.

In October 2010 he won the third edition of the festival Orfeo in Italia in Venice, Italy. No other Maltese performer had ever taken part in this contest before this edition. He was also named Best Male Singer and Most Promising New Act in the same contest. Subsequently, he was invited to sing in Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland and Sweden.[1]
