Maltese girl won Sanremo Junior festival
Gaia Cauchi wins international singing competition
Gaia Cauchi, a nine-year old girl from Mgarr, has won first place at the Sanremo Junior International that was held this weekend in Italy. This international song and music competition was open for soloists singers and musicians from different genres - pop music, rock, jazz and folk – aged between 6 and 15 years.
Gaia interpreted the song ‘One Night Only’ from the film Dream Girls which is originally sung by Jennifer Hudson, and her magical strong voice captured the heart of the audience. She had won the ticket to be able to participate in this prestigious event as she was chosen amongst other young artists on a television programme, “SHOWBIZ”, produced by ONE productions.
Gaia’s voice teacher Gillian Attard, Maestro Paul Abela and Norman Hamiltion accompanied her during this adventure that will definitely have a great impact on her musical career. This wasn’t Gaia’s first experience on foreign TV. Last year she appeared on Rai Uno’s live show, ‘Ti Lascio Una Canzone’, presented by Antonella Clerici as she captured the audience, by an amazing interpretation of Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary”
We at malta.com would like to congratulate Gaia for her success and wish her all the best in her singing endeavours to come!
