Thea Garrett was born on March 15, 1992, in Ħal Tarexin, Malta. She has been studying voice technique and interpretation with soprano Gillian Zammit. She studied musical theatre for ten years at the Masquerade Theatre School, where she participated in performances of “The King and I” and “Beyond the Barricades” at the Manoel Theatre in Valletta. Thea also earned qualifications from Trinity Guildhall College in Musical Theatre, Voice Technique, and Drama.

For two summers in a row, Thea attended a week-long workshop at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.

In late 2009, Thea sang with the well-known Italian singer Gigi D’Alessio at the opening of his world tour in Rome and later in Milan, where Gigi played the piano for her. Currently, Thea is a member of the gospel group “Enkor,” where she also sings as a soloist.
