Gianluca

Gianluca and his collection of smiles have warmed the hearts of many Eurovision enthusiasts in the past few months. The young lad from Malta is a medical doctor by profession, and also one of seven siblings, who are all talented musicians and singers.

Although fully committed to what he describes as his vocational calling, music has always served as a good break for the singing doctor, who has very adeptly found a balance between his daily ward rounds and his passion for music.

Gianluca is the front man of a local band, whose dynamic performances and recent single releases have propelled it to the forefront of the island’s music scene. While funk and indie elements characterise the band’s distinctive sound, Bezzina draws on a wider variety of influences as a solo artist. He is mostly inspired by Michael Bubé’s brassy standards, John Mayer’s modern blues, the nu-folk style of Mumford and Sons and Noah and the Whale, while also being deeply captivated by Chris Tomlin’s contemporary Christian music. 



Gianluca is a regular singer with his prayer group and has also spent time doing voluntary work among children in Turin, Cairo and Palermo, with the sisters of Mother Theresa. He started off his music career by playing the piano accordion, eventually shifting his focus to singing in various charity concerts around Malta, including the popular biannual Voices concerts and Rockestra, a yearly event organised by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and held under the Patronage of the President of Malta.

It was through one of these charity events that songwriters Boris Cezek and Dean Muscat approached Gianluca  with the intention of collaborating. Originally intended to be a radio hit, Tomorrow's feel-good factor combined with its simple yet meaningful lyrics, possessed all the necessary ingredients to take it to the Eurovision stage this year.

Gianluca looks forward to broaden his experience through the Eurovision Song Contest as he feels it will give his career greater potential for growth and exposure, while allowing him to make further contacts with foreign music professionals.

It is indeed an honour for Gianluca to be putting his rigorous routine on hold for a while, as he represents his country in Malmö... definitely an opportunity not worth leaving till Tomorrow!

Lyrics of Tomorrow

His name is Jeremy
Working in I.T.
Never questions why
He has always been
An extra careful guy
Sensitive and shy
Risk assessment is his investment
In a life of no surprise
‘Til she walked into his life

She spontaneous indeed
Uncertainty’s her creed
She has always been
Neither black or white
Just a curious delight
She threw affection
In his direction
A collection of her smiles

And to his surprise

She’s like tomorrow
Oh so distant
She just wants to play
Like tomorrow
She is always
One day away
All the time she slips away
It’s close but yet so far
It’s time to follow her tomorrow

Oh oh time to follow her tomorrow

He fell for her too fast
We all thought it wouldn’t last
Cos good ol’ Jeremy
Likes his rigorous routine
Cos he only thinks today
But tomorrow is her way
So find a new direction
And you will be ok

She’s like tomorrow
Oh so distant
She just wants to play
Like tomorrow
She is always
One day away
All the time she slips away
It’s close but yet so far
It’s time to follow her tomorrow

Oh oh time to follow her tomorrow

She’s like tomorrow
Oh so distant
She just wants to play
Like tomorrow
She is always
One day away
One day away
One day away
And all the time she slips away
It’s close but yet so far
It’s time to follow her tomorrow
It’s time to follow her tomorrow
It’s time to follow her tomorrow
