About Olta Boka
Olta Boka, at only 16 years of age, is the youngest Albanian singer to ever make it to the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Olta began her singing career at the tender age of nine, with the formation of Choir of Angels led by National Opera Music Master Suzana Turku.
In the period between 2002 and 2005 Olta took part and received many prizes in a number of children's festivals, organized in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Kosovo.
Olta's career made a huge leap forward following her participation at the Albanian Radio Television Song Festival 2007, where she captured the spotlight by winning the first prize and securing her participation at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Zemrën E Lamë Peng which translates in to English as Hearts Trapped In Time.
