Joseph Calleja is a world-renowned singing sensation and Grammy Award nominee that has graced stages in some of the world’s most prestigious theatres. He was appointed as Malta’s first ever Cultural Ambassador in 2012, a role that “has allowed me to passionately promote the island of my birth – a jewel in the Mediterranean steeped in history and cultural diversity,” he says.

The role of a cultural ambassador of Malta is bestowed upon people who encourage the promotion of our little isle in various sectors. Apart from Joseph Calleja, London-based interior designer Francis Sultana is also a cultural ambassador as of February 2018, and was appointed so due to his work in helping to put Malta on the map in terms of art and design.
