	There's humour and sarcasm within the Maltese language. The monikers they give to others often mean something totally the opposite of what they really are.

	''Is-Sulari'' was nicknamed so because of his diminutive stature, especially when compared to [[Pawlu Degabriele Il-Bies]] and [[Żeppi Meli Ta' Sika]]. Sulari literally translates for 'storeys'.

	As a ten year old, Salvu used to spend time in the fields of Tal-Bajjad, nowadays the village of Santa Luċija, together with his shepherd friend tending goats. Here is where he practiced his first lines.

	He grew up in the folk music environment, tailing his maternal uncle is [[Leli Azzopardi l-Bugazz]] to events all over Malta, but mostly at Lucy Casha's outlet in Il-Belt il-Ġdida, Ġolin Axisa Ta' Kostanza, Fredu Abela Il-Bamboċċu's brother in Żabbar and at Karmena tal-Marsa, where Sunday late afternoon sessions were held as soon as the horseraces were over. This exposed him to [[Żeppi Meli Ta' Sika]], [[Pawlu Seychell Il-Għannej]] and [[Salvu Darmanin Ir-Ruġel]]. The latter is his favourite folksinger, due to his lyrical content.

	His early days as a folk singer were not remarkable. He recalls being invited to sing at Il-Qajjenza in Birżebbuġa at Il-Bies's shack but was over come by a terrible wave of stagefright. Older folk singers didn't give up on him and guitarist [[Fredu Grech l-Irixx]] (also from Tarxien) egged him on not to give up and give his gift a go. The next time, at il-Belt il-Gdida, at Fredu's bar, he fared well, accompanied by [[Żeppi Meli Ta' Sika]], [[Fredu Abela Il-Bamboċċu]] and [[Ċikku Degiorgio ~~Tal~~-Fjuri]].

	Salvu has written four ballads, his favourite being one about the Christ. It is in sixty stanzas and he has performed it on Net Television as well as at the residence of [[Fredu Abela Iż-Żejtuni]]. He also wrote a ballad in remembrance of Leli l-Bugazz, another one about a blind girl. His most favourite ballad is a story about a young boy mutilated to death by his own dogs, which was written by [[Pawlu Seychell Il-Għannej]].

	In the 90's Pace organised various folk singing sessions at the Boċċi Club in Tarxien, which he himself ran. He used to gather around the best folk singers for improvised bouts, at times attracting a crowd of six hundred. Leli l-Bugazz used to record these sessions. At the height of his popularity, Pace was invited to sing regularly in most Gozitan villages, as well as at schools during summer recess.
