“The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focused on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.”
― Dr. Roopleen
Once an individual begins to achieve, they tend to polish their skills more and more as consistency becomes the reason of their success. Kosovar-Albanian singer, producer, and television presenter Enur Pakashtica born on 14th October 1994, is one such individual who has persistently made a difference in the life of many with his skills. When Pakashtica was six years old, he began to sing and perform on stage for other children in school. This built Pakashtica’s confidence and motivated him to pursue singing and make a career out of it. It isn’t an easy task formulating a world where your true passion can turn into a skill and make you successful, yet Pakashtica has done a remarkable job as he continues to make a powerful impact.
Learning from the difficult times
There were setbacks in Pakashtica’s life as he was a refugee in Izmir, Turkey, along with his parents and brother when the war brokeout between Serbia and his home country Kosova in 1999. When disappointments became an integral part of Pakashtica’s life, and he spent his time in Turkey, there were moments when he felt that there was no way out, yet he remained steadfast and returned to Kosova to pursue his passion for singing. Since Pakashtica was a child, he has been training in Karate, and after successfully performing Karate for seven years, he earned the 2nd dan, a Black Belt, and a Master’s Degree in Karate. Pakashtica has completed Elementary School in Pristina, and he has successfully studied and finished the Marketing bachelor’s degree in University for Business and Technology.
Until now, Pakashtica has created more than 15 songs and collaborated with artists such as Adrian Gaxha for the remake of the song “Ajshe.” As Pakashtica faced struggles and hardships, his dedication remained firm, and his passion for making more music became more resolute. Pakashtica participated in Gjeniu i Vogël (season 2), a popular singing talent show in TV Klan in Albania, where he made his place among the top 10 contestants. He has also attended X Factor Albania (Season 2), where he reached the semifinals and performed impeccably. There was a time when Pakashtica doubted himself, yet he learned from the difficulties and bounced back stronger with more vigor and zest to achieve.
The motivations that propelled Pakashtica forward
John Mayer and his guitar skills have inspired Pakashtica as they acted as a model for Pakashtica’s talent and capabilities. Pakashtica has been moved by his closest friends, who gave him motivation and the right drive to make music that would make a difference in the world. Pakashtica’s skills have worked wonders for his fans as they listen to him on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Songs such as Natë e Gatë by Pakashtica, released in 2020, have been streamed by a lot of people and appreciated and applauded for its unique and soulful beat since Pakashtica’s voice makes an individual feel a connection with him. When pursuing music, Pakashtica makes those beats that make an individual feel vulnerable, as most of his tunes have a sense of depth and longing.
James Corden has been an inspiration for Pakashtica when he began to branch out and become a television presenter. By studying Corden closely, Pakashtica analyzed how he hosted and carried his show. Pakashtica felt that Corden would control his emotions and not let his personal feelings get in the way. Corden is unbiased and employs complete creative freedom when it comes to hosting a show. Pakashtica also noticed that Corden controlled his speech, spoke impressively, and captivated the audience. Corden inspired Pakashtica and made him pursue hosting with new energy and motivation.
The inception of WAZZUP and its influence
When Pakashtica was a percussionist at World Peace Orchestra in 2013, he went to New York for a concert and was interviewed at Klan Kosova Television. When he sat down with the director, Pakashtica was delighted when the director pitched the idea of starting a TV show, WAZZUP, that resonated with the youth and featured music artists who are newcomers and want to get exposure. From 2014, Pakashtica spent almost ten years with Klan Kosova Television as a host for WAZZUP and did more than 1500 episodes. After working tirelessly for three years with Klan Kosova Television, Pakashtica was promoted to the author position in the company in 2017.
When the show WAZZUP was started, Pakashtica was responsible for creating the content that would air on the show for the whole hour it was broadcasted. WAZZUP aired for the first time on 140h November 2014 and aired from 4 to 5 pm on working days. The show became a sensation amongst all those musicians in the entertainment industry who want to make it big and create a stir with their talent. Pakashtica has interviewed celebrities such as Rihanna’s father, Donald Fenty, and covered Dua Lipa’s “Sunny Hill Festival” in Pristina. Pakashtica has presented a quiz for children with the name of ChampionQuiz for two seasons while on WAZZUP and has hosted shows named “Summer Zone” and “Ora E Mbremjes” for one season each.
