'' (in Albania), Retrieved October 28, 2010 Bajrami grew up in a family where music was just as important as the daily food (Arta's father Zejnullah Bajrami is a famous Albanian rapsode). In a family of four, Arta's mother is the only member without a professional music background. Bajrami's younger brother Artan, known as Don Arbas in showbusiness, is an Albanian songwriter and producer. He runs Arbasound, a company known for producing many great songs by Albanian performers.
