Career
Tuna is the daughter of Shaban Sejdiu, an ethnic Albanian former Olympic wrestler, who had won bronze medal in two Olympiads (1980 and 1984) for Yugoslavia. Tuna started singing at a very young age, participating in various festivals. Her professional career began in 2002 when she competed in the talent search competition Play - Search For A Star organized by the Macedonian record label M2 Production.[2] Sejdiu was one of two winners from the competition, which resulted in the release of her first single "Najdi den, najdi nokj, najdi vreme" (Find a day, Find a night, Find time).[3]
Tuna later began to establish her career in Albania and turned focus to releasing material in the Albanian language. In 2003, she released her debut self-titled album Tuna, which was followed by her second album, S'ka me diktaturë (No more dictatorship), in 2006.[1] In June 2012, Tuna released "I Asaj" (Hers) which rose huge popularity on YouTube. Albanian newspaper Koha Jonë believed that the song would undoubtedly be a summer hit. She released in November 2012 her 6th Album titled N.E.R.D.[4] In 2012, Tuna joined X Factor Albania as a judge.[5] She has also used social media to spread knowledge about her shows[6] and ask her fans for ideas for X Factor.[7]She is also a supporter of the LGBT rights.
