Life and career[]

1987–2010: Early life and career beginnings[]

Elvana Gjata was born to Fatmir and Donika Gjata on 3 February 1987 into an Albanian family of the Roman Catholic faith in the city of Tirana, then part of the People's Socialist Republic, present Albania.[4][15][16][17] Her father has served in the Albanian Armed Forces for more than two decades.[18] Migena, her elder sister, is also a musician and soprano with a musical career based in Germany.[19] Gjata studied to become a film director at the University of Arts in Tirana.[20][21][22] Describing her early life, Gjata has stated that she was raised in a poor but happy household.[15][23] She began to dedicate herself to music when she was fourteen as she auditioned for the Albanian talent show Ethet e së premtes mbrëma.[15][24][25]

In 2003, Gjata unsuccessfully attempted to represent Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, after her participation at the 42th edition of Festivali i Këngës with the song "Pranë Teje", whom she dedicated to God.[26] In 2004, she released her first single "Të Kam Xhan" composed for her participation in Kënga Magjike by her future collaborator and manager Flori Mumajesi. She began working on her debut album Mamës shortly after.[15] Since then, she has participated two times in the aforementioned competition, including in 2007 and in 2009 placing third with the song "Ku Jeton Dashuria" in 2007, and second in 2009 with the song "Dhe Zemra Ndal".[27] In June 2011, she won the 8th edition of Top Fest with the song "Me Ty", which she dedicated to her friend Elsina Hidersha who died following a car accident that year.[28][12][29]

2011–2016: Afër dhe larg[]

In August 2011, Gjata released her second studio album Afër dhe Larg with fifteen songs, including the eponymous single "Afër dhe Larg".[30] Due to its success, the latter single received Gjata's first international awards of her career at the 2012 Balkan Music Awards.[31] Later that year, she was featured on the advertising campaign of Türk Ekonomi Bankası (TEB) in Kosovo.[32] In February 2012, she was announced as one of the celebrities to compete on season three of Dancing with the Stars.[33] Considered one of the favourites to win, Gjata received high scores in the time of her tenure on the show and ultimately won the competition in the final.[34] The follow-up single "Gjaku im" was released in April 2012 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Independence of Albania, which she also dedicated to the Albanian people.[35][36] Shortly thereafter, she was chosen as the face of the Albanian television platform Tring Digital.[37] In March 2013, in a collaboration with Albanian rapper 2po2, Gjata released the well-received single "Beso".[38]
