Malta is determined to perform well at Eurovision this year! Following the success of last year, this micronation elected to use the same protocol - the winner of X-Factor Malta would be invited to represent the country in Eurovision. The song would be chosen at a later date.
Enter the winner of X-Factor Malta - Destiny Chukunyere. This powerhouse singer is already a Eurovision household name, having won Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with “Not My Soul”. She’s only 17 years old, but she also placed 6th in X-Factor UK 2017. She’s even been praised by Simon Cowell for her talent at such a young age. Most recently she was a backing vocalist for Michela Pace’s “Chameleon”, which represented Malta For ESC 2019 in Tel Aviv. A veteran performer, Destiny was perhaps “destined” to perform once again on the Eurovision stage.
Destiny will represent Malta with the song “All Of My Love”. This song, composed by a team of songwriters including Cesar Sampson (ESC 2018 for Austria), is an upbeat pop/gospel tune that is sure to get the ESC crowd clapping and singing. The music video for the song opens with the following line - ““Free spirit. Live like there’s no tomorrow. Run wild. Fulfill your destiny.” Perhaps it’s presumptuous to say that it is her “Destiny” to win ESC, but this song is definitely a front runner. The rhythm is infectious, and there is ample opportunity for her to showcase her powerhouse vocals throughout the song. At minimum, this song and performance will be one of the memorable ones that should secure Malta a spot on the left side of the screen for the Grand Final.
Good luck, and may she achieve her "Destiny" in Rotterdam.
