Ardian Bujupi (born 27 April 1991) is a Kosovar singer-songwriter. Bujupi rose to fame when he finished third in the eighth season of the German talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar in 2011.
Bujupi was born in Pristina, Kosovo (then part of SFR Yugoslavia) to Kosovar Albanian parents. His family moved to Germany in 1992/1993. He was raised there and attended his primer and high school in Heidelberg.
Bujupi decided to enter the eighth series of the German music talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS) and successfully passed the first phases of the show and made it to the live shows. He was in the bottom three times but was saved by the public in all occasions. Although he became a huge favorite to win the show, he finished third, behind Pietro Lombardi the season winner and Sarah Engels the season runner-up.
Just a few months after DSDS, Ardian released his first single "This is My Time", penned in English which became a huge hit on the radios and social networks, counting more than a million views over a week. He later released "Rise to the Top" and "I'm Feeling Good", all which had the same success as his first single.
He started touring immediately after releasing his first songs. He mostly toured in Germany and Switzerland, but later was invited to tour in Kosovo and Albania.
