Biography

Bahtiri was born to Kosovo Albanian parents. She finished the Prenkë Jakova musical high school and continued her piano studies at the Academy of Arts in the University of Pristina.[1] At the age of 18, she signed up for The Voice of Albania. She performed "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan in the "Blind Auditions" together with her piano. She received a positive feedback from all the four judges, and chose Elton Deda as her mentor. She made it through the live shows, and finished fourth in her team.

After the show, she took part in the 9th edition of Top Fest with "Një shpirt" but failed to make it to the proceeding stages of the show. The following year, she returned with "Zemër e drynosur" and made it to the semi-finals.[2][3]

Annotations
  1. Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
