Klinsmann is a Maltese male singer and he is 18 years of age. He was born in Paola on the 17th July, 1990.

He started his singing career with the encouragement of his school's Music teacher who noticed his talent. In fact, when at last Klinsmann took his teachers words seriously and started to sing on stage, he distinguished himself immediately in festivals such as Golden Singers festival , Junior Eurovision song contest, Drydocks Singer Contest, Star to Be and many more.

Klinsmann took part in many TV programs particularly as a resident singer in ShowTime which is one of the most popular local TV shows and The International singers festival in which he was chosen to sing 2 songs in the semi final.

Klinsmann has been playing the classical guitar and the electric guitar for 5 years. He also learnt vocal training for classical music with Amadeus. He also joined Masquerade Theatre Arts School under the direction of Tony and Veronica Bezzina and has taken part in three musicals during the last 3 years. Klinsmann already has his own band which is called Klinsmann and the Beatboys. They play mostly pop to rock and alternative music.

In the first edition of the Junior Song for Europe organized for Maltese children in 2003, Klinsmann participated with the song titled "Where there's a Will" and he was a finalist. In the edition of 2004 he took part with the song "War Zone children" and that year he placed 3rd. That year Klinsmann was also the winner of the FIDOF award for an outstanding performance. Klinsmann was chosen for this award from amongst signers from all over the globe. In the third edition of the Junior Song for Europe in 2005 he took part with the song "Time Is Running Out", the music and lyrics were all done by Klinsmann himself.

In 2006 Klinsmann couldn't compete in the Junior Song for Europe because he was 16 years old, so he started working on some material with the help of some local and foreign composers and authors. By that time in 2007 he made some original new material and then participated in the Eurovision song contest. He qualified to the semi-finals with 2 songs and then he not only qualified to the final 16 but went on to claim third place with the song "She Gives Me Wings" composed by Mark Spiteri Lucas and written by Rita Pace. This is a great achievement for a youngster of 16 yrs old.

In Summer 2007 he released his 1st single "Summer Fun" and was a hit. In Malta Song For Europe he started in Maltese qualifiing with 2 Songs, one is "Superhero" and the other one,"Go". The song "Go" generated some controversy, as its composition is strikingly similar to that of "Air Hostess" by Busted - so much so that one may immediately spot the similarity when listening to both songs after each other
