Mini bio

How it started.

Raised in Korçë, Albania, Bleona began performing at five. In a Forbes interview, she recalled slipping away from school to practise at the theatre. Her teenage National Music Festival performances brought national attention, including a performance of “Let Me Be Free” in which she revealed a blue leather outfit beneath a shawl.

Building her own career.

Concert earnings helped her fund her recordings. She released eight Albanian-language albums before building an English-language career in the United States, working with Timbaland and other producers. She has continued to describe creative control and independence as central to her work.

Dance floors and television.

“Take You Over” reached the top three on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, and “I Don’t Need Your Love” became her first No. 1 there in February 2019. Fans also know her from Bravo’s Euros of Hollywood, her judging role on X Factor Albania and films including Chief of Station.

Returning to her repertoire.

Her recent releases include “Boy Gone Bad,” “Ride It” and new versions of “ERA.” In 2026, she outlined plans for two visual albums revisiting 20 Albanian songs, reconnecting with music she had previously removed from digital platforms.
