She has already represented Malta in more than 5 international competitions including ‘New Wave Junior’ in Russia back in 2016, where she came second. 

Last year, Ela had the opportunity to represent Malta in the Italian programme Next Generation, aired on Sky Italia. After qualifying for the finals, she managed to win the mini section with ease and was crowned the title Mini Next Generation.

Lyrics of Marchin'On

There are times where I kneel and pray,
hoping that we’ll lead the way,
and as one army we’ll give our all,
fearless, not afraid to fall.

We belong,
together I know, yes we’re strong,
sing along, share our peace.

You will find it in your heart,
smile and simply play your part,
don’t you think of backing down,
no backing down.

Always keep marchin’ on
everyday from dusk till dawn
the battles that you’ve won, live on yeah!
Whether if you’re big or small
you’ve got to learn how to stand tall
tear down each wall.
Keep marchin’ on! Yeah!
Keep marchin’ on! Yeah!

There are times where it will get dark
that’s your chance to leave your mark,
and as one army we’ll lift you high
go on look up to the sky.

Hold on tight,
remember to search, find the light
that shines bright deep within.

You will find it in your heart,
it’s been there right from the start,
don’t you think of backing down,
no backing down.

Always keep marchin’ on
everyday from dusk till dawn
the battles that you’ve won, live on yeah!
Whether if you’re big or small
you’ve got to learn how to stand tall
tear down each wall.
Keep marchin’ on! Yeah!
Keep marchin’ on! Yeah!

And you keep marchin’ on and on...
believe your fears will all be gone.
And you keep marchin’ on and on...
believe your fears will all be gone.
And you keep marchin’ on and on...
believe your fears will all be gone.

Always keep marchin’ on
everyday from dusk till dawn
the battles that you’ve won, live on yeah!
Whether if you’re big or small
you’ve got to learn how to stand tall
tear down each wall.
Keep marchin’ on! Yeah!
