Efi Gjika is back with a brand new song and video clip for the song Summer Days. The video was filmed during her happy summer holiday fun days!! The filming was at a combination of a cruise on board the MSC Cruise liner in the Mediterranean, also on the Greek Ionian islands and at home in the Aquapark in Tirana. The tour included places like Cagliari Beach (Italy), Palma, Majorca (Spain), Valencia (Spain), Marseilles (France) and Lefkas (Greece).

Efi was happy in Marseille when a group of tourists sang along with her and they enjoyed Efi’s live performance very much.

Efi is grateful for the super team that made the making of the Summer Days video possible. The song Summer Days was composed by Ada Satka and produced by Sevada Davoodian (Humble Sohl). The director and producer of the video was Kliton Gjika. Thanks to Sokol Marsi recording studio and Arbi Malile CC Creative consulting for the graphics. The editing is by Lesli Kita. The styling, make up and hair are by Hristina Gjika.

It has been a busy year for Efi where she organised an Instagram competition where to film her music video for the song Happy Birthday. She did this in Prague, Czech Republic. The winner was @ellie.lollipop. Efi also recorded a much respected cover of Fight Song by Rachel Platten. The music video was also inspired and recorded on a holiday in the Greek Ionian islands.

Fight Song suits Efi’s powerful vocals and she said the song “inspires me to chase my dreams and believe in myself”.

Efi represented Albania at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Barbie and charmed many with her bubbly and fun personality, as well as her strong stage presence.

Earlier this year Efi released her single Happy Birthday and went to Prague, Czech Republic to shoot the music video after creating a fun competition on her Instagram account. The lucky winner, from thousands of entries by kids, was @ellie.lollipopz. Efi made the surprise visit and had lots of fun making the video at the special birthday party!

Efi Gjika recently released her brand new single and video clip for Happy Birthday. It is a fun song and very catchy and perfect for birthday parties of course!

A special Making of ‘Happy Birthday’ video has been released to show the fun and effort and great ideas that Efi had for the video.

It was all Efi’s idea to sing to a child on their birthday. She organised a competition via her Instagram account to choose randomly a lucky girl or boy, and Efi would visit them, in whatever country, and perform Happy Birthday at the birthday party and have a lot of fun.

The lucky winner was @ellie.lollipop from Czech Republic. So, Efi and her team flew to Prague and so the fun began!!

Efi sends many thanks to: Eliska & Lollipopz, Karel Andreas Stiebling, Ada Satka  (c0mposer) Sokol Marsi Recording Studio, Hristina Gjika – Make up and Hair (Efi;s mother), Arbi Malile – Video, Lesli Kita – Editor, Ergi Nune – Camera, the production is by Kliton Gjika (Efi’s father).
