Oxygyn

Oxygyn is an alternative indie-pop music outlet that produces tracks which reflect the human and societal condition. Composed of sibling vocal duo Katia Abela and Kurt Abela, with lyrics written by Kurt Abela, Production and Guitars by Zack Walters and Percussion & Production by Funky Monkey

They strive to leave their unique mark on the pop music scene. A core element of the music is lyrical and artistic content, which abstractly focuses on the complex paradigms of humanity.

Their aim is to make music that inspires others through the exploration of important human and social issues through song, and to encourage their listeners to not only hear their music, but to also sit back and reflect.

Oxygyn was established in December 2015, with the release of their debut original single CORRODE. The song reached No.2 on Malta’s Top 10 Chart (89.7 BAY), and the music video has garnered over 17,000 views on YouTube.
