'I saw the strongest man of my life with tears', Gjon Muharremaj tells

Gjon Muharremaj, known by the stage name Gjon's Tears, told in "A live night" how his stage name was born.

It all started with grandfather's tears, as he sang his favorite song "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley.

His grandfather was his biggest push to take up music and worked hard to make him proud.

"I was interested in classical music and I started playing the piano, I had just started playing the piano when my grandfather came to our house on vacation, I had an electric piano and I had the song 'Can't Help Falling In Love' by Elvis Presley. Wow, he said, yes, this is my favorite song, he also said, can you sing for me? At that moment, I said to my grandfather, that I have never had a corner, what does he say, can I have a corner? I learned and learned the song as much as possible, and finally before he went to Canada, because he lives there, I sang him the song and he started to cry. It was the same feeling as with Bach. There I realized the value and possibility of music, that okay you can touch people in that way... and especially the culture of Albanians and Kosovo that normal grandparents never cry. When I look at the strongest man in my life with tears... those tears were very symbolic and very important to me. When I created the concept of John's Tears, I always saved the tears. I always wear them, because my grandfather told me, I know you'll grow up, but I won't be here with him without it, that's why I went with all of them for him to see, I'm proud and convinced that he he saw all the things, that he was the beginning of everything, without him I wouldn't have made music at all. I liked the piano, but my grandfather chose it for me, I tried other things. I tried karate, football", that he was the beginning of everything, without him I wouldn't have made music at all.
