He was educated in a rank and file urban family and graduated from the "Illyricum" High School of the city.

In the years of his youth, he composed over 200 original songs, which were immediately sung in the city of Shkodër and were spread all over Albania, such as "Lule Bore" (Snowflower), "Syte e tu si drite" (English: Your Eyes Like Light), "Weaving girl".
