Gianni Zammit – Malta’s Rock Heart and One of the World's Greatest KISS Collectors

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many great artists through my work as a stage manager and production leader. But it’s not always the stars themselves who impress me the most – sometimes it’s the fans.
Those who live wholeheartedly for the music, who carry their idols through all of life’s ups and downs, and who build something greater than just a collection – they build a lifestyle.

Gianni Zammit from Malta is one of those people.
His passion for KISS and rock music has grown into one of the world’s most impressive KISS collections and a home where every item breathes genuine love for music.

This is a tribute to the fans – and to a man who truly gives everything for his passion.

There are collectors – and then there’s Gianni Zammit.
In the heart of the Mediterranean, on sunny Malta, lives one of the world’s most passionate KISS fans and rock enthusiasts. But Gianni is much more than just a collector. He is one of Malta’s best-known personalities, a creative force who has built a career as a radio DJ, musician, entrepreneur, and a true symbol of passion and authenticity.

In the first episode of the "Collecting" series, we are invited into Gianni’s world – a world where the soul of rock music lives in every corner and where every item carries its own story.

From Radio to Rock Icon

Gianni Zammit’s journey began in the world of radio as a DJ. His love for music was evident from the start, but it was the band KISS that truly captured his heart. Their theatrical performances, relentless energy, and strong identity became a lifelong inspiration for him.

Gianni didn’t just stop at listening – he started collecting. Over time, his collection grew into something truly unique in the world.

One of the World’s Most Impressive KISS Collections

As we step inside Gianni’s home, we are met with an explosion of rock history:

• Gibson and Ibanez guitars – many signed and in limited editions.

• Rare KISS memorabilia that most fans can only dream of.

• A signed Foo Fighters guitar, proving that Gianni’s love for music stretches beyond a single band.

This is not about collecting for collecting's sake. Every guitar, every poster, every figure has been carefully chosen, bought with heart, and cared for as a part of Gianni’s own life story.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this is one of the world’s most complete and personal KISS collections.

A Place Where Passion Becomes Home

It’s fascinating to see how Gianni Zammit has created a home where every room breathes music and creativity. Through the Everhouse series, we don’t just see the items – we understand the man behind them. For Gianni, collecting isn’t about material things. It’s about passion, identity, and creating an environment that inspires both himself and others.

His home is proof that a home isn’t just a place to live – it’s a place where dreams are allowed to thrive.

More Than KISS – A Tribute to Rock Culture

Although KISS is Gianni’s greatest passion, his collection shows a broader love for the entire world of rock. From Foo Fighters to other classic rock icons – everything he collects carries the same foundation: a genuine love for music and its power to change lives.

A Life Built on Authenticity

Gianni Zammit is a living example of what happens when you follow your heart without compromise.
He has succeeded in turning his interests into a lifestyle and a career, inspiring others to live out their passions, no matter how niche or unconventional they may be.

When you see his collection and hear him speak, it becomes clear: this is not about material possessions. It’s about honoring a feeling. A feeling of freedom, joy, and never compromising on who you are.
