< Back Kodin Camilleri Vocals, Guitars Facebook Kodin Camilleri was born on the 19th of September 2008. From a very young age, he showed a keen interest in music and musical instruments, especially the guitar; his second birthday cake was already a red Telecaster guitar. He also had an interest in playing the drums, the trumpet, and the accordion. At the age of 8, Kodin began attending guitar lessons but stopped after a few months. However, his love for music and playing the guitar never left him. After some time, he resumed guitar lessons and has not looked back since. As soon as he started getting the hang of it, Kodin began writing his own music and experimenting with song lyrics. Not a day goes by without him practicing; it’s a part of him that he can’t do without. Besides the guitar, he also enjoys playing the piano, the harmonica, and the bass, all of which he plays by ear. A little over two years ago, Kodin started having weekly vocal coaching as well as songwriting lessons. This was crucial for him to be able to perform a song from start to finish. Music is a significant part of Kodin's life. When he’s not playing, he enjoys listening to vinyl records. He is a big fan of the "Three Jims": Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Jimmy Page. He also loves The Beatles and Oasis, among others. In the summer of 2024, Kodin released his first single, "It’s Alright," and he is currently working on other songs. It takes a lot of dedication and money to make it in the music industry, so he would like to express a heartfelt thank you to his parents, who have always believed in him and supported him throughout his musical journey.

< Back Freddie Portellli Singer Freddie Portelli was born on May 5, 1944, in St. Paul's Bay, Malta. He received his early education at St. Paul’s Bay Primary School and later attended the Technical Institute, where he earned the City & Guilds of the London Institute Standard. Throughout his career, Freddie primarily worked as a draughtsman. Portelli's musical career began over 40 years ago as a member and chief songwriter of the group, The Malta Bums. The group toured America, Canada, and Germany for five months, and upon returning to Malta in 1966, Freddie wrote the iconic song "Viva Malta" followed by "Mur Hallini". His recordings have been released internationally, including in Australia, Canada, America, and England. Freddie also led the legendary band "Black Train", which produced several hit records. Apart from his musical accomplishments, Freddie was an accomplished water polo player. He played for his hometown’s Sirens water polo team as well as Neptunes and Valletta, winning the premier championship with Neptunes in 1964. He also played with Malta's national team, securing the International Independence Tournament cup the same year. Freddie's musical journey began with encouragement from his father to learn the guitar. His first lessons were with Carmelo Muscat, a close family friend. By the age of 13, Freddie was playing in various bands. In the early sixties, he formed The Malta Bums, sharing his musical expertise with the group members. The band underwent several lineup changes, eventually solidifying its members and gaining significant popularity. Initially reluctant to participate in song contests, Freddie and The Bums decided to enter one, reaching the finals despite being the least equipped band. This experience was a turning point in Freddie’s career. In 1973, Freddie founded The Black Train after leaving The Malta Bums. The band quickly became Malta's top local band, performing regularly at prominent venues and receiving international invitations. However, the demanding schedule led Freddie to temporarily put his career on hold. In 2001, Freddie made a successful solo comeback, spurred by encouragement from Martin Schembri and KTA Records. His return led to the release of the double album "Ghall Dejjem", which included a new recording of "Viva Malta" and broke national sales records. Freddie participated in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest three times in the mid-90s and continued to release numerous singles and albums, writing approximately 400 songs over his career. He performed internationally, including notable concerts and television appearances. Freddie married Carmen Darmanin on December 5, 1972, and they have two daughters, Claudette and Yvette. Claudette is a specialist in clinical psychology, while Yvette pursued a career in television and radio before relocating to Italy. Freddie was honored with the Medal for Service to the Republic in 2016 by the President of Malta and received several other accolades, including the golden medal and the Ġieħ San Pawl il-Baħar for his contributions to Maltese music and culture. Reflecting on his life, Freddie expressed contentment with his achievements, from musical success to his career as a draughtsman and water polo player. His legacy continues to inspire many in Malta and beyond.

< Back Valerie Cassar Vocals Mandy Calleja Valerie started out singing when she was 6 years old and participated in festivals until the age of ten. Her love for singing rekindled at 24 years of age when she met colleagues at work who asked her to join a band. She started out as a backing singer, later taking the role of a singer with Dislost, a rock ballad band. During this time she put into practice her natural gift of song writing and writing lyrics also in other projects with various musicians. In the meantime, she was asked to be a backing vocalist for Oblique visions which she happily accepted. After some time with the band, Valerie became one of the leading vocalist singing clean vocals together with a male growler singer. She participated with Oblique Visions at the Extreme Metal Festival in 2013 which was her last show with the band in Buskett. She made her way back into the metal scene in 2018 in an Iron maiden tribute band and again in 2024 where she performed several songs at The Garage and Beerfest. In the meantime she started in a new project called Rogue, a 70s and 80s cover band with some of Malta's old time musicians, who went live the first time in June and aiming to go live again soon. She loves to sing heavy metal and rock, especially from the 80s era but also any type of genre. Her passion for music, singing and performing grow stronger, and she believes that the vibe music creates is magical, especially when a project is being put together and when performing live.
