Robert Galea

Robert Galea is a Christian singer and songwriter from the island of Malta. In 2003 Robert entered a seminary and has since been ordained as a Catholic Priest. Robert's passion is to draw others to the heart of God. He believes, along with a number of other important voices in the Christian tradition stretching even from Apostolic times, that music is an important instrument in helping others understand the need for intimacy with God. Robert has released two music projects, More of You (April 2004) and Closer (UK release, February 2006) and is currently working on his next record.

His music is a mix of the heartfelt and spiritual. Though less pedestrian in terms of subject matter, his music has enjoyed widespread fame in the Catholic Charismatic movement and his albums have enjoyed a sustained success in Malta, the UK, and Australia, to name but a few. Perhaps increased attention of late to the needs of new converts and those still in need of discovering God in their lives will add a new dimension to his work in future.

Robert has written a number of songs for various campaigns and international conferences. He will also feature in the 2008 World Youth Day celebrations in Sydney, and appears in the international version of the official 2008 World Youth Day song "Receive the Power" singing the Italian verses.
