View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Emma Muscat (born 27 November 1999) is a Maltese singer, songwriter, pianist, and model based primarily in Italy. Known for her pop music and versatile vocal range, she has achieved notable success in the Italian music industry following her breakthrough on television talent competitions and her international profile through the Eurovision Song Contest.
Muscat was born in St. Julian's, Malta, into a musical family, where she began playing the piano at age five and developed an early passion for singing. She pursued formal training as a classically trained pianist before moving to Italy to advance her career. In 2018, at the age of 18, she joined the seventeenth season of the popular Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi on Canale 5, reaching the semi-finals and gaining widespread recognition across Europe.[1][2][3]
Following her performance on Amici, Muscat signed a recording contract with Warner Music Italy in June 2018. She released her debut single "I Need Somebody" on 2 July 2018, which served as the lead single for her EP, followed by her debut EP Moments on 6 July 2018, which peaked at number three on the Italian FIMI Albums Chart and remained in the top ten for four weeks. A Christmas edition studio album followed on 7 December 2018. The EP featured collaborations with artists such as Biondo on "Avec Moi" (over 5 million streams) and Shade on "Figurati Noi" (over 10 million streams). She also supported major acts at live events, including Jason Derulo, Hailee Steinfeld, and Sigala at the Isle of MTV festival in Malta in 2018, and Martin Garrix, Bebe Rexha, and Ava Max in 2019.[3][2][4]
In 2022, Muscat represented Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy, with the song "I Am What I Am", co-written by herself alongside Dino Medanhodzic, Julie Aagaard, and Stine Kinck. Selected through the Malta Eurovision Song Contest national final (initially with "Out of Sight" before a change), her upbeat pop entry earned 47 points in the second semi-final, placing sixteenth and failing to advance to the grand final. The performance marked Malta's continued participation in the contest but highlighted challenges in qualifying that year.[2][5]
Muscat's discography includes subsequent singles like "Sangria" with Astol (certified gold by FIMI in Italy on 9 December 2020, 30,000 units equivalent), "Vicolo cieco", and "Lacrime Moët" in 2024, reflecting her ongoing presence in the Italian and international pop scene. She has also ventured into modeling, appearing at events such as Milan Fashion Week for the Autumn/Winter 2024/25 collections, and served as a guest performer and judge at the New York Canta music event in 2024. In 2025, she announced the birth of her first child. Her work emphasizes themes of self-empowerment and emotional resilience, solidifying her as one of Malta's prominent music exports.[3][6][7][8]
Early life and education
Family background
Emma Muscat was born on 27 November 1999 in St. Julian's, Malta, into a wealthy family of Maltese heritage.[9][10] Raised in Malta throughout her childhood, she grew up in a musical family environment that nurtured her early interests in the arts. Her mother, Rosanna, is a pianist, and the family frequently engaged in musical activities together, such as singing sequences from Disney films and musicals at home.[11][12] This supportive atmosphere, led by her father Conrad and including a younger brother, provided unwavering encouragement for her pursuits.[11] Muscat's cultural roots are firmly Maltese, though her later career moves to Italy introduced dual Maltese-Italian influences, including fluency in Italian alongside Maltese and English spoken at home.[13] This foundation transitioned into formal musical training during her early adolescence.[12]Musical training and early influences
Emma Muscat began her musical journey at the age of five, when she started classical piano training, quickly developing into an accomplished pianist who earned distinctions in her grade examinations.[14][15] Shortly thereafter, she took up singing, often performing her own renditions at the piano, and later began composing original songs during her teenage years, showcasing an early aptitude for musical creation.[14][6] This foundational training, supported by a family environment that nurtured her talents—particularly her mother's encouragement—laid the groundwork for her multifaceted skills in performance and composition.[14] Following her compulsory education, Muscat enrolled at the University of Malta, where she studied performing arts to refine her abilities as a singer and stage artist.[6][16] Her university curriculum emphasized practical training in singing and expression, complementing her prior piano background and helping her build a versatile repertoire that blended technical precision with emotional delivery.[6] Muscat's artistic development was profoundly shaped by a blend of influences from pop icons and classical composers, which contributed to her wide vocal range and stylistic diversity.[6] She has cited soulful pop artists such as Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin as key inspirations for her vocal phrasing and emotional depth, while her classical piano roots drew from composers like those in the standard repertoire, fostering a disciplined approach to melody and harmony that informed her songwriting.[6][14] This fusion of influences allowed her to cultivate a distinctive voice capable of spanning genres, from intimate ballads to more dynamic performances, prior to her entry into professional music.[6]Career beginnings
Debut and Amici di Maria De Filippi
Emma Muscat entered the music scene as an independent artist with the release of her debut single "Alone" on December 19, 2016, which she uploaded to her YouTube channel.[15][13] The track, written and composed by Muscat herself, showcased her early songwriting abilities and marked her initial foray into original music production.[17] She followed this with her second single "Without You" in 2017. In 2018, Muscat gained widespread recognition by participating in the 17th season of the Italian talent competition Amici di Maria De Filippi, broadcast on Canale 5.[2] She advanced to the evening phase of the show and reached the semi-finals, ultimately finishing in fourth place in the singing category, demonstrating her vocal range and stage presence through various live performances.[18][19] During the competition, she incorporated her piano skills, performing covers such as Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" and Beyoncé's "Halo" to highlight her musical versatility.[20][21] Her strong showing on Amici led to a pivotal professional milestone when she signed a recording contract with Warner Music Italy shortly after the season concluded in June 2018.[22][23] This deal represented her breakthrough into the mainstream music industry, providing a platform for further development and distribution of her work.[2]Initial recordings and performances
Following her success on Amici di Maria De Filippi, Emma Muscat capitalized on her growing popularity by releasing her debut EP, Moments, on 6 July 2018 through Warner Music Italy.[24] The six-track project, featuring original songs in English, debuted and peaked at number three on the Italian Albums Chart, marking a strong entry into the Italian music market.[25] In November 2018, she collaborated with Italian rapper Shade on the single "Figurati noi," which appeared on Shade's album Truman (Sanremo Edition) and helped expand her visibility in Italy.[26] To extend the holiday season appeal, Muscat issued a Christmas edition of Moments on 7 December 2018, incorporating covers of classic carols alongside select originals from the original EP.[3] Building on this, her lead single "I Need Somebody" from the original Moments EP gained traction through live promotions and digital streaming, establishing her as an emerging pop artist.[27] In 2019, Muscat continued her momentum with additional singles that highlighted her collaborative style and bilingual appeal. She released "Avec moi" on 26 April, a duet with fellow Amici contestant Biondo, blending pop and R&B elements to appeal to a youthful audience.[3] Later that year, "Vicolo cieco" served as a standalone single, delving into introspective themes and further solidifying her presence on Italian radio and playlists.[28] These tracks, distributed via Warner Music Italy, contributed to her building discography and fan engagement in the pre-Eurovision phase of her career. Muscat's early performances reinforced her rising profile, particularly through high-profile live appearances that bridged her Maltese roots with international stages. In June 2018, she performed at the Isle of MTV Malta festival alongside Jason Derulo and Hailee Steinfeld, delivering sets that included tracks from Moments and captivating a large outdoor crowd in Valletta.[29] She returned to the event in 2019, joining Biondo for a live rendition of "Avec moi," which underscored her growing comfort with major festival lineups.[30] Additionally, in July 2018, she shared the stage at the Joseph Calleja Annual Concert in Floriana, Malta, duetting with Eros Ramazzotti on "I Belong to You" and with tenor Joseph Calleja on "In Amore," moments that blended opera influences with pop and drew widespread acclaim for her poised delivery.[31][32][33]Eurovision Song Contest
National selection
On 19 February 2022, Emma Muscat was announced as Malta's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 after winning the Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) national final with her song "Out of Sight," written by Emma Muscat, Antonio Caputo, Gabriel Rossi, Lorenzo Santarelli, and Marco Salvaderi. This victory came on the heels of her rising profile in Italy from her participation in the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi.[13] The initial selection of "Out of Sight" was part of the MESC, which featured 22 entries and culminated in a live final broadcast on Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), Malta's national broadcaster.[34] However, on 14 March 2022, Muscat and PBS announced a change to the entry, replacing "Out of Sight" with "I Am What I Am," co-written by Emma Muscat, Dino Medanhodzic, Julie Aagaard, and Stine Kinck.[35] Muscat took responsibility for the decision, stating it better reflected her artistic vision and personal growth.[36] In preparation for the contest, Muscat released her second EP, I Am Emma, on 13 May 2022 through Warner Music Italy, just days before the Eurovision semi-final.[37] The six-track project prominently featured "I Am What I Am" as its lead single, alongside other originals that showcased her pop and R&B influences, marking a key step in building momentum for her Eurovision appearance.[37]Performance and aftermath
Emma Muscat performed "I Am What I Am" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 during the second semi-final on 12 May 2022 in Turin, Italy.[38] The entry featured an energetic staging with Muscat accompanied by two backing vocalists and dynamic lighting to emphasize the song's empowering message.[39] Malta placed 16th out of 18 countries in the second semi-final, receiving a total of 47 points and failing to qualify for the grand final.[38] The voting breakdown showed 27 points from the juries, placing 12th, and 20 points from the televote, placing 15th.[40] Despite the non-qualification, the performance received mixed reception, with praise for Muscat's vocal delivery but criticism for the song's generic pop structure.[38] In the immediate aftermath, "I Am What I Am" topped the PRS for Music Malta BMAT Airplay Chart, marking a significant domestic success for Muscat.[41] The Eurovision participation also amplified her exposure to a global audience of over 160 million viewers, boosting her international recognition beyond her established Italian fanbase.[42]Later career
Post-Eurovision releases
Following her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, Emma Muscat's visibility increased, providing a platform for her subsequent solo releases, including the Eurovision entry "I Am What I Am," which she had released in March 2022. The track, representing Malta, achieved notable airplay success, topping the BMAT PRS Malta Top 10 Airplay Chart in May 2022.[43] In June 2024, Muscat released the solo single "Lacrime Moët," a pop track produced by Ralph Wegner that explores themes of emotional excess and indulgence. The song garnered over 645,000 streams on Spotify within its first year. No certifications have been reported for the track as of late 2025.[44][45] Muscat continued her solo output in 2025 with "Tutto Quello Che Ho," issued on March 28 as a reflective piece dedicated to personal milestones, including her pregnancy announced shortly before. The single, released under Warner Music Italy, marks a shift toward more introspective songwriting in her catalog; she welcomed her first child, Mila Rae, in July 2025. Streaming figures for the track remain modest in its early months, reflecting its recent debut.[46][47][48] Later that year, on July 11, 2025, she featured as lead vocalist on "Love & Desire" with DJ Alex Guesta, blending afro house elements with pop vocals for a summery, upbeat sound aimed at radio play. The collaboration accumulated around 59,000 streams on Spotify shortly after release, highlighting Muscat's versatility in electronic-influenced productions.[49][50] Earlier in her post-Amici trajectory, Muscat's 2020 single "Sangria," featuring Astol and released in June, earned gold certification in Italy (35,000 units) and amassed over 41 million views on its official YouTube video. The track's summery vibe and bilingual lyrics contributed to her growing international appeal prior to Eurovision.[51][52]Collaborations and live performances
Following her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, Emma Muscat expanded her musical partnerships through notable duets that blended her pop style with international artists. In July 2022, she released "La stessa lingua," a bilingual collaboration with Spanish singer Blas Cantó, both former Eurovision entrants, featuring lyrics in Italian and Spanish that explore themes of connection across languages.[53] The track, produced under Warner Music Italy, received positive reception for its summery vibe and was accompanied by a music video showcasing the duo in vibrant, coastal settings.[54] Muscat continued her collaborative efforts in 2023 with electronic dance music pioneer Benny Benassi on the single "M.I.A.," released in July, which captures an infatuation-driven narrative through pulsating beats and Muscat's emotive vocals.[55] The song, also distributed by Warner Music Italy, marked Muscat's entry into EDM-influenced pop and was promoted via an official visual art video emphasizing abstract, high-energy visuals.[56] In terms of live performances, Muscat served as a pre-show headliner for Latin superstar Maluma's concert at Villa Bellini in Catania, Sicily, on July 5, 2023, joining DJ Angemi and rapper Boro Boro to open for an audience of over 4,000 fans in a three-hour event.[57] She also headlined key appearances, including a set at the EuroPride Valletta 2023 concert on September 16, where she performed alongside global acts like Christina Aguilera, drawing crowds to celebrate diversity through her hits.[58] These stages highlighted her growing presence in major European events post-Eurovision.Modeling and media
