“It’s one thing putting in the hours, but it’s another thing having the passion for what you do.”
All-Round forces in Business

When her family emigrated to Great Britain from war-torn Kosovo, the now internationally renowned singer-songwriter and actress was only one year old. The words of her mother, whom she herself describes as a driver in her incredibly successful career, still ring true for her today: "You can do anything and achieve anything you want”. But you have to do the things you strive for and want to achieve with conviction.
