Early life

Throughout her professional career, Evi has collaborated with various famous composers such as Adrian Hila and Flori Mumajesi, to mention a few.

A song created by Flori Mujamesi and its lyrics composed by the very talented journalist Fjodora Fjora. In 2010 she developed her first video clip of the song "I Ngjan Asaj", a video created by Pro-Video Production.
