Early life

Ilira Gashi was born on 29 October 1994 in Brienz, Switzerland, to father Ismet and mother Entela Gashi, the former a Kosovo Albanian from Pristina and the latter an Albanian from Tirana.[3][4] She uploaded videos of herself singing on Instagram, which led to a record label deal.[1]

Career

Ilira later moved to Berlin, Germany and signed a management and publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. In 2018, Ilira signed a label deal with Four Music, and released her debut track "Whisper My Name" on 24 August 2018,[5] followed by her second single "Get Off My D!ck" that same year which entered the Spotify Viral Top 50 in the U.S.[1] Her first chart placement was achieved together with Alle Farben and the song "Fading",[6] which reached number 16 on the German Single Charts and number 1 on the German Airplay Charts for four consecutive weeks.[7][8]

In 2019, Ilira released four singles, "Do It Yourself", "Diablo" (with Spanish producer and recording artist Juan Magán),[9] "Pay Me Back!", and "Extra Fr!es".

In 2020, she released the singles "Royalty", "Fuck It, I Love It!", "Ladida (My Heart Goes Boom)" (together with Crispie), "Easy", and "Eat My Brain".

On December 14, 2021 Ilira announced that she had signed a joint deal with Virgin Records and Universal Music Group.[10] She released the single "Flowers" on December 17, 2021 as her first solo single of 2021, and her first single under Virgin Records.
