‘Overwhelmed’ Aidan to take centre stage in Eurovision final

Malta’s Aidan Corkish is about to step into the global spotlight. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter will represent Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest final this Saturday, a feat that has left him feeling “overwhelmed”.

From St. Julian’s to Turin

Aidan’s journey to the Eurovision stage began in the vibrant streets of St. Julian’s, where he honed his craft performing in local bars and clubs. His breakthrough came when he won the Malta Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year with his powerful ballad, “I Am What I Am”. Now, he’s set to perform in the prestigious contest’s final in Turin, Italy, in front of an estimated 200 million viewers worldwide.

Aidan’s emotional rollercoaster

Aidan’s road to Eurovision has been an emotional one. He opened up about his feelings in a recent interview, “I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. It’s all happening so fast, it’s overwhelming.” The young artist admitted that the pressure is on, but he’s determined to give his best performance yet.

Malta’s Eurovision history is filled with memorable moments, from Ira Losco’s powerful vocals in 2002 to Destiny’s triumphant return in 2020. Aidan is eager to add his own chapter to this rich history. He said, “I want to make Malta proud. I want to show the world what we’re made of.”
