Life and career
Early life and career beginnings
Killua was born as Aris Demaj into an ethnic Albanian family. [1] [2] Demaj caught national attention in the Albanian-speaking Balkans in late 2021, upon the release of "Bageti e Bujqësi" as the lead single from his upcoming debut album, Metamorfoza. [3] The single's title is derived from the poem of the same title written by Albanian poet Naim Frashëri in the 19th century. [4] [5] It peaked at number 2 on the Albanian Top 100 in early November 2021 and rose to number one a week later. [6] [7] Prior to its solo success, Demaj was featured on Albanian disc jockey Arnon's successful "Te molla" in August 2018. [8] The Albanian-language song became a top 15 single in Albania and reached number 13 in the Commonwealth of Independent States. [8]
