Presentation
Gjon Muharremaj, known by his stage name Gjon's Tears, is a Swiss-Albanian singer and songwriter recognized for his ethereal voice and emotive performances. Born on June 29, 1998, in Broc, Switzerland, to an Albanian-Kosovar father and an Albanian mother, Gjon was exposed to a wide range of musical influences from a young age, which shaped his unique style. His stage name, Gjon’s Tears, comes from a childhood moment when his powerful singing moved his grandfather to tears, an experience that has stayed with him and inspired his artistic identity.
Gjon first gained public attention through his participation in various talent shows. In 2011, at the age of 12, he competed in "Albania’s Got Talent," where his exceptional voice earned him a spot as a finalist. He then appeared on "Switzerland’s Got Talent" in 2012 and made it to the semi-finals. In 2019, he competed in the French version of "The Voice," making it to the semi-finals and further establishing himself as an artist to watch.
In 2020, Gjon's career reached new heights when he was selected to represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest with his song "Répondez-moi." However, due to the contest’s cancellation that year, he was invited to return in 2021 with the song "Tout l'univers." His performance at Eurovision 2021 garnered widespread acclaim, earning him third place, Switzerland’s best result in decades. "Tout l'univers," a dramatic, emotional ballad, showcased Gjon’s extraordinary vocal range and ability to convey deep emotions, winning the hearts of audiences across Europe.
Gjon’s music often explores themes of love, longing, and identity, blending pop with classical and avant-garde influences. His distinctive vocal style, characterized by its soaring falsetto and raw emotion, sets him apart from many contemporary artists. His artistic approach emphasizes the importance of storytelling and emotional expression, making his songs deeply personal and relatable.
Gjon has continued to release music that reflects his unique vision, earning him recognition not only in Switzerland but across Europe. His dedication to creating music that speaks to both the heart and the mind has solidified his place as one of the most promising young artists in the European music scene.
In addition to his vocal talent, Gjon is also a skilled songwriter, often involved in the creation and production of his own music. His artistic integrity and ability to connect with audiences through his deeply felt performances have made him a standout figure in modern pop and alternative music.
As Gjon’s Tears continues to evolve as an artist, his music remains a testament to his deep-rooted passion for emotional storytelling and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary pop music. His ability to blend his Albanian heritage with Swiss and European influences adds a unique dimension to his work, making him an exciting and inspiring figure in the music world.
