Career

Luiz Ejlli began his career in 2004 by winning the Albanian version of Idol, Ethet e së premises mbrëma, in Tirana, which launched him into the national spotlight.

That same year, he competed in the 43rd Festivali i Këngës, Albania’s Eurovision pre-selection, finishing second with Hëna Dhe Yjet Dashurojnë. In 2005, he returned and won the 44th edition with Zjarr e Ftohtë (Fire and Cold), becoming the first male artist to represent Albania at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest in Athens.

Despite a compelling performance with traditional Albanian instrumentation, he placed 14th in the semi-final with 58 points, failing to advance. His early music career also included collaborations, such as the 2006 song Për Një Vajzë Që Di të Dojë with Rudi and XXL.

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, Luiz continued to build his music career while exploring other fields. He collaborated with Juliana Pasha on Një Jetë (2008) and Sa e Shite Zemrën (2010) at Kënga Magjike, winning the Critics’ Award and first place for the latter.

From 2010 to 2013, he served as First Secretary for Culture, Tourism, and Arts at the Albanian Embassy in Paris, showcasing his versatility as a cultural diplomat.

Returning to music, he released Illusion (2011) and competed in Festivali i Këngës with Kthim (2013), Pa Mbarim (2015), and Ra një Yll with Rezarta Smaja (2017). His acting career began to take shape with a role as Besi in the 2023 romantic comedy Within Love (Në Kuadër të Dashurisë).

Luiz’s career reached new heights after joining Big Brother VIP Albania in December 2022. His charismatic presence and romance with contestant Kiara Tito captivated audiences, culminating in his victory on May 6, 2023.

During the show, he recorded “Me Ty,” a song dedicated to Kiara, which was released on Valentine’s Day 2023. Following his victory, he released “Farewell” with Teuta Selimi in 2024 and “Ëndërr” with Lindon, which garnered over 1 million YouTube views by June 2025.

Despite a reported 2024 conviction for falsifying a notarial statement, Luiz has continued to focus on his music, maintaining strong fan support. His recent cover of Ishte Natë Binte Shi and ongoing projects solidify his enduring influence in Albanian pop culture.
