Fr Karm Debattista mssp is a member of the Missionary Society of St Paul. He composes and sings Christian songs in Maltese and English. Believing that music is the best medium to proclaim the message of God, he composes songs to evangelize. His songs are essentially biblical with special attention to the missionary or evangelical aspect of the Church. The style of the music varies from pop, soft rock, dance and ballads to classical and a cappella. His experience in missionary countries like Pakistan and Perù has its influence on some of the songs, particularly on the most popular title track of his first album Fittixtek and Ħolma from his third album.

     Fr Karm’s compositions go back to his childhood, however, he started recording
his songs professionally some twelve years ago. He has released eight albums, including a
Christmas album. Besides, he composed other music for films, programs on television

and official songs for particular events.
    

     Last July he released an album in English called Dance into joy. This is the first album in Enlish and was launched at the World Youth Day in Sydney. The album includes songs of worship and reflection, and psalms. You can download the songs and listen to them here. It has 12 tracks as all the previous cds and is all recorded with a live band at Tone Studios.

A new song has been launched on the occasion of the Pauline Year. It is called Grazzja (Grace).
