Arilena Ara was born on 17 July 1998 into an Albanian family in the city of Shkodër, Albania.[1][2] Ara performed in various dancing and singing competitions as a child, including at the children's talent show Gjeniu i Vogël finishing in third place.[2][3] She won the second series of the talent show X Factor Albania on 31 March 2013.[2][4] Her first single, "Aeroplan", was released in February 2014.[5] Finishing in third place, Ara participated in the 18th edition of the music contest Kënga Magjike with the song "Nëntori" in November 2016.[6][7] The song subsequently experienced commercial success abroad, peaking at number one on the Romanian Radio and TV Airplay rankings as well as reaching number 3 in Bulgaria and number 38 in Hungary.[8][9][10][11] In early 2017, the song's remixes, including "Nëntori (Bess Remix)" and "Nëntori (Beverly Pills Remix)", further reached the top 20 in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).[3][12][13] In the course of 2017, Ara performed at the Europa Plus Festival in Moscow, Russia, and won the award for the song of the year at the Astana Dausy Music Awards in Astana, Kazakhstan.[3][14]

Arilena Ara after winning the 58th edition of Festivali i Këngës

As of 2019, Ara has been a juror for the third series of the singing show The Voice Kids Albania.[3][15] After winning the 58th edition of the music contest Festivali i Këngës with the song "Shaj" in late December 2019, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH) designated Ara as the Albanian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.[16][17][18] In February 2020, following several months spent in Los Angeles, the singer announced that she had started working on her debut studio album.[19][20] In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) cancelled the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.[21] After a short hiatus, she was featured on Albanian singer Alban Skënderaj's "A i sheh" in December 2020, which peaked at number 29 in Albania.[22][23]

Ara released her debut studio album, Pop Art The Album, on 6 November 2021.[24][25] Prior to its release, four singles, "Murderer", "Aligator", "Thirr Policinë" and "Ke me mungu", were released from the record. Containing R&B and hip hop music, "Murderer" featuring Albanian rapper Noizy was released as the record's lead single in July 2021.[26][27] Its second single, "Aligator", followed on 9 August 2021 and peaked at number five in Albania.[28][29][30] For the record's third single titled, "Thirr Policinë", the singer collaborated with Kosovo-Albanian musician Dafina Zeqiri and reached number six in Albania.[31][32] Ara scored her first number-one single with "Ke me mungu" in October 2021.[33] In April 2022, she debuted as a television presenter, hosting the investigative show Piranjat.[34] On the fifth season of the singing show X Factor Albania was a Judge.[35] Ara participated in Kënga Magjike 2024, duetting with Pirro Çako with their song "ZERO GRADË", later withdrawing from the competition for unknown reasons.
