Hello Evi! Welcome to the eurovision universe, how have you been doing?

I am great thank you!

How would you describe yourself as an artist?

An artist that tries to bring a special kind of styles and genres in music and in my videos.

You are one of the participants of Festivali i Këngës 59. How did it all begin?

It's my first time to try this festival. But for many years I was thinking of it! It was just a decision...

"Tjerr” is the title of your song, what’s the story behind it?

Tjerr means spin. It's a personal story, try to spin out of my heart a pain that it was caused...

How do you feel about the reaction your song has gotten from the fans?

The reactions were great, especially when they try to pronounce my name!! hahaah! They loved the love and the dark style that I brought

This years festival will be held in an open air venue, how do you as a singer prepare for performing under those conditions, taking in consideration that cold weather might not be a singer's best friend?

That is a thing... I am thinking that it will be just a moment as when we will be on stage everything will be ''hotter''. It will be a different experience so let it be!

Have you heard any of the other songs in the competition? Any favorite?

Yes, I 've heard most of them but they are all friends and colleagues of mine so I don't want to specify one!

Now I'm going to ask you a question that we fans have every year when it comes to the Albanian entry for Eurovision and that generates some kind of debate. In the case you win FIK and go to Eurovision, would you sing your song in Albanian or in English?

I think i will leave it in Albanian, as the refrain ''Tjerr e Tjerr'' it is easy to get pronounced by the foreigners, but you never know...We will see!
