And He Did It! Ryan Hili Wins X Factor Malta
It’s Official! Ryan Hili has been crowned champion for season 3 of X Factor Malta!
The news comes after a series of stunning performances by judges and audiences. Performances that saw the humble teacher sing his heart out and take no prisoners.
Ryan’s entry into the competition was written in the stars. Fun fact: he had to be pushed to enter school by his classmates.
“Either you apply, or we apply for you,” they said.
Getting to the final was already a big win, in his eyes.
Despite his talent, which even in his worst days, wins the biggest in the game, we can all remember him as the shy and nervous man whose worries were too relatable.
Now his journey sees him embark on a potentially lucrative music career, with a prize pool of € 50,000 as well.
From the first steps taken on the show, he garnered the judge’s praise.
“You go on stage and pour out your emotions. No acts no gimmicks, “said Judge X Factor Philippa Naudi.
It was this voice, if not his attitude and presence on stage, that helped him become an immediate favorite on the island.
“Impeccable. Your voice is like good wine. Everything seems so effortless, “said Ira Losco.
Ryan’s prowess earned him a mentorship with Howard Keith.
“What makes you special is how much you can pour your emotions into the mic, the way you do it,” he said.
Under his guidance, his talents eventually transitioned to a more modern style approach to music, one that saw him stick to the classics we all know and love.
