Arkimed Lushaj (born 15 June 1986), known professionally as Stresi, is an Albanian singer and rapper, and the founder of the music label BadBoys4Life. He is considered as one of the most famous music figures in the new modern Albanian music industry.[1]
Early life
[edit]Stresi was born on 15 June 1986 in Tirana to a father from Tropojë and a mother from Kosovo.[2] When he was a child, his family moved to Belgium. During his childhood years there, he sang and performed in shows that were organized for Albanians in the diaspora.[3] He lived in Belgium for several years, until he returned to Albania in 2007. He also lived in Italy for several years.[4] As a troubled child who tried to run away from home, he was given the name Stresi, which means "stress" in Albanian, by his mother.[5] Stresi graduated in psychology, although he has never practiced the profession.[6]
Career
[edit]Stresi started his career as a rapper in 2007 when he was 20 years old.[7] In 2012, Stresi became the musical ally of the Babastars label, but the alliance ended in 2020 when the rappers Ghetto Geasy and Majk of the label dissed him in the song "Hajde Te Baba". In response to the diss, Stresi released the song "Po Foli i Fundit".[8] Stresi is the founder of the music label BadBoys4Life. This label includes singers and bands from Albania and Kosovo, such as One T, Anestezion, Pakufijt, Enes Qosa, and Flor Bana.[9]
