Who is Gento, his first debuts in the music stage; his first encounter with music, the first songs? I’m Gentonis Dervishaj and I have been engaged in music since I was 12 years old, but I took my first steps in music as a music producer along with Adonis Dervishaj. In 2017, I decided to take my work as a producer a step further and create my own ‘label’ and manage new artists. Along with some other artists and friends, we decided to name the label “Vortex Music.” After about two years of working on my own label, I decided to carry out another project of my own. On April 7th, I debuted as a rapper with the first music project “KSMP (Kurrë S’ki Me Pas, Eng. You Will Never Have),” which was very well received by the public. This success was followed by other projects, such as: Probleme (Problems), Nuk Nalna (I will not stop), Jeta ne Kosove (Life in Kosovo) and Latina. I have recently released my single “Edhe Njo” (Another One), for which I also developed my first music video. The special thing about this song is that it has an entirely different style from my previous songs.

What music genre do you prefer to sing? The music genre that I prefer to sing is Rap and RnB.

What messages do your songs convey? The messages of my songs are the things that have happened in my life in the past, but there are also things from the present.

Who has had the biggest impact in your shaping as an artist? I owe the biggest gratitude for my accomplishments in my music career to two persons who have stayed by my side both in good and in bad times, who have been my right arm, and those are Adonis Dervishaj and Ylli Elshani (friend).

What is your nickname and what is the history behind it? My nickname is “GentoDe.” Gentonis is my name (Gento) and De are the first two letters of my surname.

What are some of your biggest accomplishments? Among the biggest accomplishments of our band is the membership in “Universal Music Group,” meaning that now we are under the protection of this group, which manages also our group’s accounts in the online music portals, such as: Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, iTunes, iMusic, xBox Music, etc.
