‘MELODRAMA’
A evening of original music with Ozzy Lino live on stage with a 20-piece Orchestra at the City Theatre in Valletta.
‘When I write songs, I write them about real life and real life experiences’. Trying to capture the essence of every day human drama is indeed no easy task, but ‘Melodrama’, offers a cathartic journey through the complexities of emotion and what I call, my melodramatic journey through life.
Born in Malta and lived in Valletta till age 9, Lino's family, along with his 6 year old sister Claire emigrated to Australia.
Lino is a singer/songwriter, raised in Ashcroft, a small town just outside of Sydney Australia. He started singing at an early age with a professional group called ‘The Green Valley Young People's Choir’ and did so until he was 21.
2001: Lino moved back to the Mediterranean, to his roots, to Malta. He joined the cast of a TV show called RED as a co-host and musical director. Picked up the nickname Ozzy as a result of the Australian accent.
2003: Ozzy Lino released his first album entitled 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' after the hit track from the Australian Punk band 'The Angels'.

2016: Earned the nickname ‘The Random Passenger’ after being captured on video whilst singing on a moving train in Frankfurt, Germany and went on to receive the ‘Frankfurt Tourism Award’ in 2017 for the viral video that to date has been viewed over 200 million times worldwide.
