Life and career
1993–2012: Early life and career beginnings
Elhaida Dani was born on 17 February 1993 into an Albanian family of the Muslim faith in the city of Shkodër, Albania.[6] She started singing at the age of four and subsequently took piano lesson.[7] She later studied musicology at the University of Arts in Tirana.[7] Dani started her initial forays into the music industry in 2009 as she won a multitude of music festivals, including Star Academy, Sunčane Skale, Festivalul George Grigoriu and Nova Musica.[6][8][9] In December 2011, she attempted to represent Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, following her unsuccessful participation at the 50th edition of Festivali i Këngës with the song "Mijëra vjet".[8][10] In June 2012, she was chosen as the winner of the ninth edition of Top Fest with the song "S'je më".[11]
2013–2015: The Voice of Italy and Eurovision
In March 2013, Dani successfully auditioned for the first season of The Voice of Italy singing "Mamma Knows Best" for judges Piero Pelù, Raffaella Carrà, Riccardo Cocciante and Noemi and persuaded all four coaches to turn their chairs and chose to compete as one of the members of Team Cocciante.[12] Dani received high scores in the time of her tenure on the show and ultimately won the competition in the final in May 2013 with over 70% of the votes.[13][14] Later that year, she signed a record contract with the Italian subsidiary label of Universal Music.[13][15]
In October 2014, the broadcaster, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH), announced Dani as one of the contestants selected to compete in the 53rd edition of Festivali i Këngës with the song "Diell".[16] She emerged as the winner of Festivali i Këngës and was thus confirmed as Albania's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.[17][18] After being selected, Dani announced that she had changed her song to "I'm Alive", due to the composer's withdrawal of "Diell".[19] In the contest, Albania qualified for the grand final during the first semi-final and ultimately finished in the 17th place with a total of 34 points.[20][21]
2016–present: Notre-Dame de Paris and continued success
