Roger Tirazona (born 3 November 1979) is a Maltese singer involved in music and performing arts since the age of 9. He trained at the Johann Strauss School of Music in voice and piano. His childhood performances include Maltese musicals “Bastilja”, “Taħt Tliet Saltniet” and “Ali Baba” in the Iljieli Mediterranji Productions. With a developing Baritone timbre, Roger decided to take his singing to a different level where his performances involved musicals, concerts and music festival. Roger trained in a classical Vaccai Belcanto style which he has added with his previous Pop-style of music giving a contemporary crossover style of singing to his repertoire. He is fond of musical theatre, works from the classical age, pop-classical crossover and Russian traditional songs and romances.

Roger’s credits include Javert in 'Les Miserables in Concert', Adam in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', Horton in 'Seussical – The Musical', Chauvelin in ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, Pilate in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, Lazar Wolf and Tevye in ‘Fiddler on The Roof’, Molokov and The Russian in ‘Chess’, Craven in ‘The Secret Garden’, Professor Callahan in ‘Legally Blonde' and Sebastian in Sebastian in October 2006.

Roger has also performed and won different awards in song contests in Malta and internationally. He won the Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza 2004 and placed 3rd and 2nd in the Malta Song For Europe as part of the pop-classical vocal group Trilogy.

Solo concerts given by Roger included venues in Malta, Russia, Italy, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Lithuania.
