Efi Gjika recently released her brand new single and video clip for Happy Birthday. It is a fun song and very catchy and perfect for birthday parties of course!

A special Making of ‘Happy Birthday’ video has been released to show the fun and effort and great ideas that Efi had for the video.

It was all Efi’s idea to sing to a child on their birthday. She organised a competition via her Instagram account to choose randomly a lucky girl or boy, and Efi would visit them, in whatever country, and perform Happy Birthday at the birthday party and have a lot of fun.

The lucky winner was @ellie.lollipop from Czech Republic. So, Efi and her team flew to Prague and so the fun began!!

Efi sends many thanks to: Eliska & Lollipopz, Karel Andreas Stiebling, Ada Satka  (c0mposer) Sokol Marsi Recording Studio, Hristina Gjika – Make up and Hair (Efi;s mother), Arbi Malile – Video, Lesli Kita – Editor, Ergi Nune – Camera, the production is by Kliton Gjika (Efi’s father).

Efi represented Albania at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Barbie.
