Jamie Cardona, winner of the 5th edition of Mużika Mużika, took to social media to share an emotional message reflecting on his victory. The singer-songwriter opened up about the whirlwind of emotions he felt after the show, describing it as both joyful and overwhelming.
“Last week, I was extremely anxious. Even though I celebrated as much as I could, I had a strange unrest I’d never felt before,” he wrote. While grateful, he admitted struggling to process the outpouring of love and support: “I’ve never received this much love in my life. I still can’t believe it’s real.”
Jamie said the win felt bigger than just him — a shared moment with his team, family, friends, and the many strangers who cheered him on. “So many people celebrated with me — too many to count. And the thought that haunts me is this: how are there so many people capable of showing this much love?”
He thanked his closest collaborators, Aleandro and Shaun, calling them “geniuses,” and expressed gratitude to producer Chris Gatt, Joe Roscoe, and Gary Bugeja, the mastermind behind the song’s visual direction. Jamie also gave a heartfelt shout-out to the entire creative team behind “Stajna Konna Aħna,” including stylists, photographers, and Denise Mulholland, whose belief in him meant the world.
Closing his message, Jamie addressed his supporters directly: “If I’ve had any kind of success, it’s thanks to all of you. The word ‘thank you’ is not enough.” He ended with: “Inħobbkom x.”
