Local singer and songwriter Kevin Paul Calleja took Tok Instagram to share a ‘little long distance’ duet with English singer Calum Scott.

The international singer, who came to prominence after competing on Britain’s Got Talent on 2015 and earned a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell for his ‘Dancing On My Own’ cover.

Kevin released a video of the two singers covering different parts of Scott’s ‘Flaws’, and earned the singer’s undivided attention.

Scott commented on Kevin’s video, writing ‘YES BRO’ and lots of clapping emojis (with a heart emoji to top it all off).

Kevin responded with a story, expressing bewilderment at what is happening: ‘did he really just comment on my reel & call me BRO!?’

Calum even went on to share the video to his Instagram story, as it continued to rack up more views, climbing to 18.6K in the process.
