ABOUT DAFINA
The blood of the Balkans and Africa flows in their veins and it seems hardly surprising that Dafina Kastrati aka Dafina lost her heart of music and rhythm at a young age. Thanks to the energetic support of her parents she danced as a ballerina at the tender age of three years, taking lessons in hip-hop and piano.
Only a few years later her passion for singing was also sparked. She takes singing and vocal lessons in the classical and popular area at the State Opera and Liveact Academy in Stuttgart as well as at the internationally renowned performer, producer and songwriter Jimmi Love. Dafina’s first stage experience is finally collected by participating in musicals such as “Marry Poppins” and “King of the Lions”.
At the age of nine she already holds her first CD “I want to live”, which she sings with the well-known Albanian singer Sabri Fejzullahu. She can continue to demonstrate her stage performance through live performances with the singer in Kosovo and actively expand her through regular visits to various dance groups.
Since 2014, Dafina has been singing “The Harlems Praise Family” in the Gospelchor in Stuttgart, where he has appeared as a part of the ensemble, among others, at the Flash Mob of Cro for his song “Traum”. Two years later the 16-year-old is finally on the stage with her own ballad “Lampedusa” for the preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014.
In the meantime, the exceptional musician has left the quiet soulful times behind her and found her strength in Hip-Hop and R’n’B. She has impressively demonstrated this with her debut single “Shot Calling”, which has caused a sensation on the European continent since release in August 2016. How excellent this sounds, Dafina recently demonstrated with her energetic debut single “Shot Calling”. Now she stands with the successor “Bottles Up feat. Rinor “in the starting holes – a single that she recorded together with her brother Rinor Kastrati.
