One of the most impressive performances in the 2017 Malta JESC national final was by Kylie Meilak. She sang I Believe in the final and gave a strong and mature performance.

Here we focus some more on Kylie and her achievements so far –

At 10 years old Kylie represented Malta at the prestigious San Remo Junior festival held at the Ariston Theatre with a full live orchestra where she sang I A Changing and she won the overall contest with her performance of And I Am Telling You.

She had big success by finishing second on a top tv show in Malta from a field of 86 participants.

In 2016 Kylie was a member of the all girl band, Fusion, and they finished second in the Maltese JESC national selection that year.

That bring us to the 2017 JESC national final where she impressed many with her performance of the song I Believe.

I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of Kylie in the future.
