Diva Bleona Competes Against Herself

 When you compete against other people, you may never truly realize your full potential. When you compete against yourself, however, as Bleona Qereti does, your potential keeps expanding itself into the stratosphere. Bleona, star of the new Bravo series “Euros of Hollywood” loves challenges; she thrives on challenges and holds strongly to the belief of “girl power” – which has led some people to think her to be too critical. But if being critical gets her what she wants, then critical is what she is. “I live to challenge myself. There is no better way of living,” she said. “Don’t let anyone else kill your dreams and tell you that “you can’t make it.” The only thing standing between yourself and your goals is your own bullshit story that you keep telling yourself of why you can’t achieve something.”

By competing against herself, Bleona has risen from the barely-noticed country of Albania to a mega-watt diva of incomparable ambition and charm.

Bleona’s Next Step: World Domination

From a five-year-old singing her heart out on the Albanian show, The House of Pionieri, to belting out songs about female empowerment like “Take it Like a Man” and “FUIF,” pop star diva Bleona Qereti is now starring in her very own reality show entitled, “Euros of Hollywood.” The show is all about Bleona taking over the Hollywood music scene while continuing to amplify her efforts for world domination as the quintessential diva megastar.

“Euros of Hollywood” premiered on November 3rd with “We are Euros” and depicts a half dozen Europeans with big dreams and even bigger egos. The comedy reality series is a great stepping stone for Bleona to showcase to America not only her exotic beauty but her sharp-tongued wit and effervescent charm. Cast mates include competitive forces who are the perfect counterparts for Bleona to ping her eccentricities.

Bleona Takes it Like a Man

Bleona Qereti is known worldwide for her bold and rebellious diva attitude. She’s a turbulent force of female empowerment, and often produces songs that brazenly display her “I don’t give a f***” attitude. Her first single, “Let Me Be Free,” was released in her native Albania in 1996, where she then delivered songs like “I Don’t Care,” “You Weren’t Man Enough for Me,” and “You Deserved It.” These songs, deeply entrenched in the idea of a woman’s strength, propelled her to the top of the charts and she became one of the top touring acts in Europe.

Living in America since 2009, Bleona Qereti has churned out music that has been celebrated by America’s clubs. With top producer Timbaland, she produced “Pass Out,” and “Take it Like A Man” produced by StopWaitGo from the UK is now a radio edit by Dj Obscene available on iTunes and her latest single, “FUIF (F*** I’m Famous) is dominating the charts. This pop track contains a message that has become an anthem for underage wannabe clubbers all over the world.

Bleona Refuses To Compromise With New Single “F*** You I’m Famous”

When Bleona first began her long musical journey as a child in Albania, little did she know that her travels would eventually lead her to America, or that her songs would inspire people all over the world. When her next hit single, “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous)” is released on iTunes September 15th, it will bring Bleona’s no compromise attitude and wicked sense of humor booming out of sound systems everywhere, letting her fans know that they should never take “no” for an answer.

Bleona’s message of unwavering independence has been a component of her music and her stage show since her earliest live performances. At the age of 15, Bleona surprised her audience by unveiling a pair of blue, patent leather pants under her full length shawl. Although this would not appear shocking by American standards, in Albania this slight bit of stagecraft was seen as outrageous and rebellious. Nevertheless, this stunt got Bleona noticed by the national press and she became a celebrity overnight. From here on out, everybody was wondering what this girl was going to do next.

Bleona Qereti knew she wanted to maintain a career in entertainment, but, as she tells it, there was no such thing for somebody living in Albania at the time. “At that time,” Bleona recounts, “Albania was a suppressed, politically volatile country, so performing, as a career, was not an option.” Bleona soldiered on though, forging her own trail in an industry that, basically, hadn’t been invented in Albania yet. Not only did she bring American style performance to the stages of her native country, she was also the first artist in Albania to produce a full-length pop music album, and a pop music video.

Essentially, Bleona was an entertainment industry pioneer in her native country of Albania, and when “F*** You I’m Famous” is released on iTunes September 15th, America too can experience the magic.

Bleona’s “F*** You I’m Famous” Encourages Her Fans To Follow Their Dreams

When Albanian superstar Bleona played New York City’s historic Webster Hall on her first tour of the United States, she knew immediately that she had to relocate from her native country and live here. Soon after, her dreams came to fruition, when Bleona was offered an opportunity to work on numerous television and music projects, including working with multi platinum and Grammy- award winning producer Timbaland, she now calls America home.

As one can surely tell by now, Bleona’s whole career has been based on staying true to her own vision, not compromising, and following her dreams. On September 15th when Bleona’s latest single “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous)” is released on iTunes, her message, that a person can do anything she sets her mind to, is destined to inspire a whole new generation of young women to crowd the dance floors with the attitude of a millionaire.

“F*** You I’m Famous,” Bleona’s audacious collaboration with producer/songwriter Alex Cantrall (Kelly Clarkson, Pink) was written, Bleona confides,  as “an anthem for every 17-year-old girl who can't get into the clubs  because she is underage, or any other person who can't get into the clubs because they are not ‘famous’ enough.”

Bleona has always encouraged young women to take control of their own destinies, and to not allow others to discourage them from pursuing their dreams. “I think every woman has the right to follow their dreams,” Bleona asserts, “and my songs have a real message of girl power.” As someone who has created a spectacularly successful pop music career from a country where such an industry didn’t even exist, Bleona is a credible example of girl power in action.

When released on September 15th, “F*** You I’m Famous” will remind her fans that they, too, should stand up for what they believe.

Bleona’s New Single “F*** You I’m Famous” Refuses To Settle

Bleona’s strong, steady drive to the top of the American charts began when the acknowledged Albanian pop princess decided to relocate her base of operations to these shores. Bleona has enjoyed unprecedented pop music success in her Eastern European homeland, before additionally conquering Western Europe. After 2013’s StopWaitGo produced instant smash “Take It Like A Man,” Bleona followed up with the Timbaland produced “Pass Out,” further solidifying her presence in America.

The next steps in Bleona’s plan for global domination are the release of her new single “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous)” on iTunes September 15th, a video for which has already debuted on her YouTube Channel, as well as a series of television and movie projects. “FUIF” was first premiered at the annual Palm Springs White Party, where 30,000 swimsuit clad participants were exposed, many for the first time, to the force of nature that is Bleona. Unsurprisingly, she immediately rocked the party with a scaled down version of her popular stage show, and had the crowd eating out of her hand from the moment she appeared.

Getting a crowd on its feet singing and dancing along to her music is nothing new for Bleona, though. Since the beginning of her career she has performed regularly in some of Europe’s largest venues, selling out stadiums of 20.000 to 30,000 people on a continual basis, with an estimated 100,000 people attending one of her appearances in the Albanian capital of Tirana.

If anybody has earned the right to remind the people who stand in her way that she is, in fact, already a star, it is Bleona. However, “F*** You I’m Famous” is also a tongue-in-cheek anthem for those girls who can’t get into the clubs because they are a little too young, or not “famous” enough. Bleona seems to be telling them to not take no for an answer, and don’t settle for anything less than the best.

Bleona Confounds Expectations Again With “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous)”

Marlon Brando. James Dean. Al Pacino. Bleona. What could all these icons of cool possibly have in common? Well, they were all trained in theater’s famed “Stanislavski method,” better known simply as “Method acting.” Method acting is an approach to performance that rejects the old theatrical forms of overacting for a more “natural” emotional presentation. Considering the theatricality of Bleona’s musical performances, many of Bleona’s fans would probably not guess that she has this little theatrical trick up her sleeve.

But, that is one of Bleona’s many strategies; always keep them guessing. Bleona has raised the stakes and pushed the envelope since she began her show business career at the age of 5. Whether she was scandalously exposing a pair of blue patent leather pants under a black shawl as a teenage performer, or being the first music star in her home country of Albania to produce a pop music video, Bleona has always looked forward to what she will do next. For example, now that Bleona has conquered half the world with her high-octane disco diva pop singles and stage show, she has her sights set on America as the next stop in her quest for total global domination.

Bleona, who speaks English, Italian, and German, in addition to her native Albanian, has recently relocated to the United States, but she can just as frequently be found soaking up the sun in exotic island settings like St. Tropez, Ibiza, and Sardinia. Although her fans would undoubtedly expect her to spend her off-time in some of the world’s most beautiful locations, many may not know that she had studied finance before becoming the globetrotting superstar she is. For all the glamor and glitz that Bleona represents in her new video and upcoming single, the appropriately titled “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous),” there will always be deeper layers to Bleona that the world may never know.

Bleona Makes Her Presence Felt With New Single “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous”)”

Bleona Qereti always knew she was going to be a star. Since the age of 5, when she was chosen to hand out flowers to the Prime Minister and other dignitaries in her homeland of Albania, to the moment she was invited onstage as a 9-year-old at a party for the Albanian Secret Service, whom her father worked for, and she stuck around singing for two hours, Bleona knew she had what it takes to dominate a stage and make her voice heard. It was that “take charge” attitude which propelled her into the limelight, and convinced her that nothing would stand in the way of her show business aspirations.

Bleona is making her voice heard again with “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous),” the latest in a long line of female empowerment anthems from the Albanian superstar. Bleona describes the song as “an anthem for every 17-year-old girl who can't get into the clubs because she is underage, or any other person who can't get into the clubs because they are not ‘famous’ enough.” Obviously, the song is meant as a humorous take on the diva attitude that Bleona, and many of her fans, represent, but it also contains the serious statement of intent that people should follow their own instincts, and not let the judgment of others keep them down.

This is a belief that Bleona has followed since she was a child star in Albania. “I just want people to give me a chance,” Bleona reasons, “and if they don’t give me a chance, I’m going to take it anyway!” “FUIF” can currently be heard on her YouTube channel, where it has already registered almost 50,000 hits since she released it in May, and it will be available beginning September 15th on iTunes. In addition, Bleona will be touring Australia, Europe, and her own birthplace of Albania later this year. She is well worth checking out, to see for yourself what all the commotion is about.

Bleona Faces Her Challenges And Follows Her Dreams

When Bleona wakes up in the morning, there is no telling where she will be; maybe St. Tropez, Paris, Milan, or Ibiza. Having toured the world professionally in support of her numerous top selling singles and albums since a teenager, Bleona incorporated the glamor discovered on her global adventures into her mind-blowing stage show, as well as to her personal life. She counts clothing designer Roberto Cavalli amongst her best friends, and was introduced to multi-million selling producer David Foster by multi-billionaire Donald Trump. Her career has also propelled her to perform for practically every billionaire and dignitary in Europe and Russia. So, why did Bleona finally move to America?

Basically, capturing the American market is only one more step in Bleona’s goal of total world domination. Bleona sees life as a series of challenges, and she feels that you can do anything you set your mind to. “We are all our own competition,” Bleona asserts, “and the only person who you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday.” Perhaps that is why her songs of female empowerment have made such an impact on the dance floor, and have catapulted her to the top of the charts all over Europe.

Bleona makes a conscious effort to promote a positive message with her music, explaining, “I believe that every woman has the power to follow her dreams.” At one time her goal was to become an icon in her home country of Albania and, having accomplished that, she wanted to rule the dance floors of Europe. Now, Bleona is in America, where her work with producer Timbaland (“Pass Out”) and mixmaster Reid Stefan (“Take it Like a Man”) did not go unnoticed in the clubs. On September 15th, Bleona’s “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous),” a collaboration with songwriter/producer Alex Cantrall (Justin Timberlake, Fergie) will be released on iTunes, and once again her message of “no compromise” will have this nation dancing.

Summer’s Getting Hotter with Bleona’s “FUIF”

Bleona, the distinctly named international popstar, is hard at work on her first American album with such heavyweight friends as DQ (Beyoncé, Pussycat Dolls), Claude Kelly (Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus), and RoccStar (Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Lopez). In anticipation of the album’s completion, Bleona has made available on her BleonaWorld YouTube channel the album’s first release, “FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous).” “FUIF” will comfortably take its place among Bleona’s other female empowerment anthems, such as “Take it Like a Man” and “Without You,” as well as her celebrations of dance party fun, like “Pass Out” and “Show Off.”

“FUIF (F*** You I’m Famous)” will be officially released on iTunes September 15th, and a tour of Bleona’s native Albania, in addition to Europe, and Australia, will shortly follow. Bleona describes “FUIF” as “the anthem of every 17-year-old girl who can't get into the clubs because she is underage, or any other person who can't get into the clubs because they are not ‘famous’ enough.” Bleona, who has been famous since she was 5-years-old when she was chosen as the flower girl for Albania’s Prime Minister, has had no problem getting into the clubs for some time.

Her new single should also not have any problems getting into the clubs. “F*** You I’m Famous” was an immediate success when it premiered earlier this year at Jeffery Sanker’s legendary “White Party” to 30,000 of Palm Springs, California’s craziest. Bleona’s “FUIF,” a collaboration with hitmakers Alex Cantrall, Fuego, and RoccStar, is full of her trademark attitude, spirit, and humor. Just as summer starts winding down, Bleona’s September 15th release of “FUIF” promises to kick down the doors and heat things up again. “F*** You I’m Famous” is Bleona’s message for girls everywhere to follow their dreams and not compromise, just like Bleona herself.

An Interview With Bleona: “I Live To Challenge Myself”

Bleona Qereti, who is just known as Bleona to her adoring public, is the million-selling pop princess who feels the time is right for America to recognize her name as well as her fans in Albania do. Bleona has toured the world with her multimedia extravaganza since the age of 15, and is hoping that American audiences will soon come to understand what the rest of the world has already come to realize; Bleona is a SuperStar. Now it’s time for America to pay attention as well.

We caught up with Bleona Qereti, as she took time out of her busy schedule to talk with us about her life, her career, and her future. And, yes, she does speak in all caps and exclamation points.

******************************************

Q: How did Bleona first come to life?

A: I was a singer since I was 5-years-old. I joined The House of Pionieri, which is the Albanian equivalent to The Mickey Mouse Club, and I was also on my first magazine cover at the age of five.  My father was a part of the Albanian secret service and I did my first impromptu solo concert at their Christmas party at the age of nine, the band was playing and I grabbed the microphone for two hours and took over the party! It was then that I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. At that time, Albania was a suppressed, politically volatile country, so performing as a career wasn’t really seen as an option, but I wasn’t about to let anyone stop me.

Q: How would you describe your personality?

A: I am a diva, and I happily admit it! I’m strong and I don’t need anyone to pay my bills or take care of me. I think every woman has the right to follow her dreams, and I believe my songs have a real message of “girl power” within them. Sometimes people think I am difficult, or am too critical, and that I work things to the ground in details, but I don’t care as long as it is for the right reason. I don’t compromise.

Q: Who or what inspires you?

  
A: Challenges. I love challenges. I live to challenge myself. There is no better way of living.

Q: Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring performers?

A: Don’t let anyone else kill your dreams and tell you that “you can’t make it.” The only thing standing between yourself and your goals is your own bullshit story that you keep telling yourself of why you can’t achieve something. I believe in mind over matter, and that you can do anything you set your mind to. I set a goal for myself when I was a little girl that I wanted to be an icon in my own country, and somehow I have achieved that. Now my goal is to go global.
The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday. We are all our own competition.

Q: What does Bleona like to do when she is not out conquering the world?

A: Trying to generate ideas to conquer the world!!!

Q: What are the most important things to you, and why?

A: Honesty and determination. Honesty is important because you need to be honest with yourself first before you can be honest with anybody else about what REALLY makes you happy. Then, being determined to achieve your happiness and never giving up, no matter what, should be the biggest goal in life.

Q: What career would you choose if you weren’t a famous entertainer?

  
A: Famous entertainer. There is no Plan B, Plan A has to work! I believe the second place is the first loser.

Q: Who are your favorite artists, and why?

A: Madonna, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake because when they decide to do something, they JUST DO IT RIGHT!

Q: What else can we expect from Bleona in the near future?

A: A chartbusting English album, and amazing visuals…
