Her career started when she was 11 years old in

final on December 21. She finished 17th with 48
points. Her song for the competition was called
Carry Me in Your Dreams.[2] Kejsi's entry has been
submitted by Edmond Zhulali who was responsible
for the nations very first Eurovision entry The
Image of You in Eurovision Song Contest 2004
performed by Anjeza Shahini.
I love singing and this is very important for me.
Music gives me an inner strength, which I
sometimes dont show up in my daily life, but that
comes out when on stage. These are the words of
Kejsi waiting to sing her dream in the Olimpiyski
Indoor Arena in Moscow.
Tola attempted to enter the Eurovision Song
Contest again in 2010, for the second consecutive
time, by participating in Festivali i Kėngės 2009

her ballad "Ndonjėherė".
