This is Me!
I’m Ema Marie Formosa from the charming island of Malta. From the tender age of 4 I developed a passion for the world of performing arts.
Encouraged by my supportive parents, I’ve embarked on a dual path of ballet, jazz and drama, laying my artistic foundation. Under the guidance of dedicated instructors, I started flourishing my skills, and the stage became my second home.
Always eager for challenges, I founded discipline in the world of gymnastics. Through the rigors of gymnastics training, I have learned the value of focus and determination.
Training.
Since my early stages, I’ve immersed myself in comprehensive performing arts training, honing my skills in dance, singing, acting, and music. This dedicated journey has built my passion for the stage, blending graceful movement with powerful vocals and expressive storytelling. Currently, I attend training schools to help me enrich my skills and knowledge.
