< Back Grace Elizabeth Victoria Singer Grace is a 21-year-old originally from the UK, now living in Malta for the past nine years. Music has always been at the heart of her life. From a young age, she trained in musical theatre and has been performing for over a decade. Her early background was rooted in musical theatre and classical music, while her love for timeless music naturally led her toward jazz and classic performance styles. In her late teens and early adulthood, Grace performed with a theatre company, singing musical theatre favorites and jazz classics. During her teenage years, she discovered a deep passion for rock and roll, especially the iconic sounds of 60s and 70s rock. Wanting to bring that energy to a modern audience, she set out to revive the music she loved by joining a band. That dream became a reality when she joined Manic Satin alongside Sarah, Jake, Joel, and Kyle. Discography Date Title Type Listen Member of : Follow the artist

< Back Carl Cassar Bassist Facebook Carl Cassar’s musical journey began during his secondary school years, influenced by friends who played instruments and his brother’s eclectic CD collection. These early inspirations set him on a path that would lead to a lifelong passion for music, though he never pursued it professionally. Instead, Carl describes himself as a musician who follows his passion while maintaining a day job outside the music world. One of the most significant periods in Carl's life was his adolescence, where his love for music took root. While he may not be a full-time musician, music is a deep passion that shapes much of his identity. He’s had formal training in guitar for several years but is a self-taught bass player, a role he particularly enjoys. Over the years, Carl’s approach to music has been shaped by a multitude of influences, making it difficult for him to single out a particular artist or style that defines his work. This multitude of inspirations contributes to the unique and diverse nature of his musical approach. Carl is most drawn to genres like jazz fusion and progressive rock, which allow for diversity and complexity, but he doesn’t like to be pigeonholed. “There’s good music in any genre,” he explains, which reflects his broad musical exploration and open-mindedness. This ethos has guided his involvement in several bands, although many have not made it beyond the rehearsal space. One of his standout projects was Xidja, a hip-hop band performing original songs in Maltese, where the bass played a pivotal role. Though Xidja didn’t break through commercially, it remains a special project for Carl. Currently, Carl is part of From Sheep to Wolves, a collaboration that has lasted for nearly four years—his longest and most stable band involvement to date. He attributes this to the successful balance of expectations and ambitions within the band, acknowledging the challenges that come with maintaining harmony in a group. For Carl, the dynamics within a band can be tricky, and in the past, drama and conflicting visions have caused issues. However, with From Sheep to Wolves, Carl feels like they are “doing something right.” Carl’s musical experiences are diverse, but one of his most cherished memories was his first live performance at the age of 12, where he played guitar for a school band. Moments like this, and every instance where he sees people enjoying his music, are his proudest achievements. He is especially excited about the upcoming debut album with From Sheep to Wolves and the ongoing work on their second album. The band’s sound has evolved, and Carl believes that’s a healthy progression. Outside of the band, Carl is also exploring the possibility of working on non-metal projects, keeping his creative horizons wide open. Carl's hopes for his audience are simple but profound. In an age where 30-second clips dominate attention spans, he wishes for listeners to experience the full album journey, appreciating the depth and thoughtfulness of a complete body of work from start to finish. If given the opportunity, Carl would love to jam with Tim Commerford from Audioslave, particularly to play something from their first album. As a nod to his deep admiration for the band’s late frontman, Carl jokes that he’d also give Chris Cornell a big hug during the session. A fun fact about Carl that might surprise his audience is that, although he is left-handed, he plays the bass guitar right-handed—a unique quirk that reflects his unconventional approach to both music and life. Through his rich musical experiences and diverse collaborations, Carl Cassar embodies a deep commitment to his art, driven by passion rather than profession. Whether in a rehearsal space or on stage, Carl continues to explore new musical frontiers while staying true to the joy and freedom that music brings him.
