[edit] Career

From a small age, they both started interesting themselves in music. Keith started playing when he was 8 and Melissa always showed her love for writing poetry. Successively they began working together in music, and they both discovered something new about themselves. Keith discovered his ability to write songs, while Melissa her talent for singing.

It all happened when Melissa was singing in her office, where she worked as a secretary, and her boss Steve (who at that time was setting up a home recording studio with the help of Keith) noticed her beautiful voice. He asked Keith to compose something on acoustic guitar, and later on asked Melissa to write the lyrics and melody for the recording.

They made a hit with Feel the Rain which topped radio charts and cd sales in Malta..

Their much awaited e.p. will be out june 2nd 2008
