Klevis Bega (born 21 May 1984 in Lushnje, Albania), known professionally as Kastro Zizo, is a popular Albanian recording artist, singer-songwriter, television presenter and dancer. Bega is one of the most famous Albanian hip-hop vocalists. He is also passionate about astrophysics.[1]

Career

Bega is one of the most critically acclaimed Albanian musicians, who rose to prominence with hit songs popular in Albania and neighbouring countries, including Maca, Pa faj, Dite dites, Silazhi, Kokashta, Papalove and Wawaz. He owns a record label, called Zizo Productions, which signs eminent Albanian vocalists. He is best known for his eclectic approach to music, writing socially conscious lyrics with a satiric flare incorporated in a lyrical melody.[2]

He is one of the most famous Albanian dubbers, being the official voice dub for SpongeBob Squarepants for the Albanian version of Spongebob and Ed of Ed, Edd n Eddy. He also dubbed for movies, such as Spiderman 2 (as Peter Parker), Finding Nemo (as Marlin), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (as Steve), Monsters, Inc. (as Mike Wazowski), Despicable me (as The Minions), Shrek (as Donkey) and Frozen (as Olaf).

Zizo is active in Albanian media as a television presenter as well. Bega frequently appears in the show Zone e lire, since 2012, Top Show Albania, since 2010, and since 2015 Thurje, where he discusses current international events and events in Albania. In Thurje recurring topics remain astrophysics and philosophy, two themes that interest Bega. In 2016 he had competed in the Albanian version of the widely popular reality show Your Face Sounds Familiar where he completed many imitations, such as Conchita Wurst, Lucio Dalla, Azis, Elita 5 and many others.

Personal life

Zizo resides in Tirana with his wife Era and two children, Dankan (born 2005) and Nia (born 2009). His son, Dankan, is the central subject of his 2014 release Papalove, in which Bega expresses his fatherly love to him.[3]
