Onanta Spahiu recently was a special guest at the Miss & Mister Pavaresia 2016 beauty competition in Albania. There she performed her top rated single Touch Me. A song that is perfect for the summer beaches and clubs.

The beauty contest proved there is even more talent in the Spahiu family where Onanta’s sister, Kejdi, took the Miss Freedom of Albania 2016 title.

Onanta has participated in the Albanian Festivali i Këngës competition for Eurovision in 2009 and 2010 and has also taken part in the Top Fest contest on several occasions. We look forward to hearing more from Onanta and her music in the near future.

Ervisa has released her brand new song, and her first official video, for #Babylove. The song is composed by Joniad Banushi with lyrics by Big Basta. It is a high quality r’n’b flavour pop song with a strong production.

The video for #Babylove is very colourful and beautifully shot and portrays Ervisa’s elegance as she dances in the countryside wearing a lovely red dress with her blonde hair flowing. The director is Next Gutiner with D.O.P. by Endi Hoxha and published by OnAir Music. Make up was by Betty Beti.

Ervisa’s sister, Dorina, was on the Eurovision stage in 2009 as part of the Albanian team with Kejsi Tola and has also competed in the Festivali i Këngës. Ervisa is set to follow her sister and we may well see her also as one to watch for Eurovision in the near future.
