Back in 1998, a relatively unknown artist walked out onto the Eurovision
stage in Birmingham and sang The One That I Love, with a strong and determined
personality that reached into people's hearts. An artist was born - 'Chiara'.
Chiara had become a star and between 1998 and 2003 she released three
albums in Malta and won the Best Female Artist in 1998 at the Malta Music
Awards. In 2000 and 2001 Chiara performed in concert with Leo Sayer and
Boney M respectively.
In 2005 she returned to the Maltese finals with Angel written by herself
and won. More determined than ever, Chiara was one of the favourites to
win the trophy. She sang her heart out and was placed a memorable second.
After the great result in the 2005 ESC Chiara has been working a lot
around the Island and abroad, especially in Greece and Cyprus. The most
important change in Chiara's life however was of course the birth of her
daughter Ebony.
2009 marked once again the return of Chiara to the Malta Eurosong finals
with What If We written by Gregory Bilsen and Marc Paelinck. Backed by
the Maltese people she will once again step out onto the Eurovision stage,
to represent Malta in Moscow.
