The return of Miriam Christine Borg

What has been happening in your life and career since we last heard from you?

Life is made up of different moments, choices, events and, sometimes, struggles that lead you to take a break from your career. I believe in giving my all to any musical project I get involved in, and when I’m not able to do that, I’d rather take a step back. So, musically, I’ve been relatively quiet these past few years due to personal reasons.

I’m glad I made this choice, though. I became a mother for a second time, and I’ve become closer to my own mother after my father died because she came to live with me. I knew I could always go back to music whenever I chose to, but these life events might never have presented themselves again, so I made the best of the time given to me.

But now you have an EP coming up – what can you tell us about it?

During this hiatus from music, I was still finding time to write and compose on my piano, sometimes late at night when everyone was asleep, and I have put together a set of new songs in Maltese.

These works mean a lot to me as they have all been borne from personal experiences. It has been so refreshing to be back in the studio too, planning the whole production...
