Hey, I’m Kenneth Mizzi from Bormla. I’ve had a pretty good run in life, and I like to think it’s been full of creativity, passion, and some pretty cool adventures. Music has always been at the center of who I am — I play the saxophone and trumpet, and lately, I’ve been coming up with some fresh ideas for the congas. Producing music? That’s my passion. When an idea pops into my head, I can’t help but chase it and bring it to life.

But I’m not just about music. I’ve also written a script for a film, which was an exciting new way to tell stories and share ideas. On top of that, I’ve had the chance to teach university students, helping them grow not just in knowledge but in responsibility. One of my proudest moments was leading the main children’s activity, guiding young minds and keeping them inspired.

I also played a role in discovering Valletta Pack during Valletta 18 — a meaningful project connected to the city’s rich culture and history. It’s been amazing to be part of something that celebrates creativity on such a big scale.

Outside all that, family is everything to me. I’m married with four wonderful kids and a bunch of grandkids who keep me grounded and bring so much joy to life.

So yeah, that’s me — a creative spirit with a love for music, storytelling, teaching, and family, always ready for whatever new idea or project comes next.

Discover Valletta takes pupils on a journey through the fascinating history of Valletta. This project creates a series of brief narratives about people and places related to our capital city, available in audio format through MP3 players which will be distributed in schools. Each pack of Discover Valletta consists of an MP3 player, loaded with 24 bi-lingual audio tracks, outlining the history of 24 locations, together with a number of flashcards with fun and educational information about each and every place. A map of Valletta linking locations and tracks will also be included in the Discover Valletta pack.

Written by Trevor Zahra, the stories encourage students and their teachers to discover new elements of Valletta and reconsider myths and legends from a new perspective. The students will be able to keep the pack, allowing them to revisit the capital city and encourage their relatives to live this fascinating experience!

Discover Valletta packs, which are sponsored by the Bank of Valletta and are fully endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Employment, are being distributed to all Form one students in the run up to 2018.

• As part of my commitment to media education, I produced and coordinated two university-level lectures at the University of Malta: "Introduction to Radio Production" and "Basic Audio Techniques." These sessions provided students with practical insights into the fundamentals of radio programming, audio editing, studio operation, and broadcast standards. Drawing on my industry experience, I aimed to bridge academic learning with real-world applications, equipping students with both the technical skills and creative understanding necessary for modern audio production.
• As the technical audio producer for Beginning Maltese (1996) by Lydia Sciriha, published by the University of Malta, I was responsible for overseeing the production and quality of the accompanying audio materials that form a key part of this self-teaching course. The two audio cassettes, designed to complement the twelve textbook lessons, were carefully recorded to ensure clarity, accuracy, and accessibility for learners of the Maltese language. My role involved managing the recording process, editing the audio for pronunciation precision, and ensuring a seamless integration with the textbook content. This project was a rewarding contribution to Maltese language education, providing learners with a practical and user-friendly tool for developing listening and speaking skills.
