Maltese composer John E. ZammitPace

John E. ZammitPace was born in Malta and started playing the Descant Recorder at age of 9 when he was in primary school.

 

At 14 he started learning the guitar with Mr. Paul Agius and eventually played in several  Jazz-Rock bands, composing a lot of material while also studying some basics of piano playing.
