Junior Eurovision 2023: Watch the music video of the Albanian entry!

Almost a month ago, Junior Fest 2023, the Albanian selection process for Junior Eurovision took place. After the decision of a jury panel, Viola Gjyzeli was crowned as the winner with her song “Bota Ime” and will therefore represent the nation in Nice.

Behind Viola’s song, “Bota Ime”, there is a well-known to Eurovision fans lyricist, Eriona Rushiti. Eriona Rushiti has also written Ktheju Tokës (Eurovision 2019 Albania) and Duje (Eurovision 2023 Albania).

The official video of “Bota Ime” was released a while ago via the official Junior Eurovision YouTube channel.

Who is Viola Gjyzeli?

Viola, who was born in Italy to Albanian parents, initially showed her interest for performing at the age of seven, when she entered and won a children’s song contest in her birthplace of Durrës. That first award was only the beginning of the young girl’s journey as she worked towards her dream of becoming a professional singer over the next few years. Except singing, Viola also enjoys playing sports, such as basketball and ping-pong.
