Kevin James Borg (born 9 June 1986 in Floriana, Malta) is a Maltese pop singer who rose to musical fame as the winner of the fifth series of the Swedish singing competition Idol in 2008. He was the third male winner and the first in the show's history to be born outside of Sweden, having moved there exactly one year before he was declared winner.
Biography
Early Life
Borg was born and raised in Floriana, Malta. He discovered his love for singing as a child when he performed the lead role in the school musical "Oliver Twist". His collaboration with composer Jason Cassar has led him to participate twice in both the Maltese selection for Eurovision Song Contest [2] and the Malta International TV Song Festival [3] in 2006 and 2007. He was a resident singer in the television programme Kalamita (2006-2007). Borg has also performed songs with noted Maltese singers Claudia Faniello and Olivia Lewis.
He was also a rather talented footballer, playing for Floriana FC. Borg's grandfather, Lolly De Battista, was the first Maltese footballer to win the prestigious Footballer of the Year Award [4].
Idol 2008
In December 2007 Borg moved to Arvidsjaur in the north of Sweden to live with his Swedish girlfriend. During the fall 2008 he auditioned for the fifth season of the Swedish singing contest Idol. Although he made it through to the final 12 live finals, Borg was not originally among the competition's front-runners. However, his strong performances caused a rapid growth in his popularity with viewers week by week. After making it to the final 2 and performing at Stockholm's Globen Arena before a live audience of 16,000 people, Borg was declared the fifth Swedish Idol on December 12, 2008, defeating Alice Svensson with 60% of the votes. Throughout the live finals, Borg had never fallen into the bottom three contestants.
TV4 received some criticism for including Borg, as he was already an established singer on Malta before his participation in Swedish Idol.
