Ermal Mamaqi (born 21 March 1982, Tirana) is an Albanian actor, singer, comedian, DJ, and TV host.[1]
Mamaqi is mostly known for his appearances in Portokalli (2004-2007) and Apartment 2XL (2008-2013). He is also known for hit songs that he created and performed, such as "Dita e Veres" (Summer Day), "Vetem Beso" (Just Believe), and "Ditet e Mia" (My Days). Lately, he is known for being a host of his own show named “Xing me Ermalin” where he emphasizes the male figure by showing low respect to woman. He is one of the richest men in Albania.
Career
He began his acting career in 2004 in the TV show Portokalli with the group ShBLSh, when this group was the most preferred sketch in the show. After four seasons on Portokalli, ShBLSh broke up and followed their own interests.
After a year, producer Turjan Hyska called Ermal Mamaqi to join the group again in Apartment 2XL. After three seasons, the show was canceled, and the same actors, producer and TV broadcaster created the Sketch Show Albania. It aired for two seasons but did not succeed.
Mamaqi left Apartment 2XL to publish an album, but declared that he would return in the show's next season. He was the host of Dancing with the Stars Albania for two years, and will now host Kenga Magjike with Albanian presenter and singer Ardit Gjebrea. He was the TV host of 6 Dite Pa Ermalin, and now he is the TV host of Xing me Ermalin.
Personal life
Mamaqi is married to Albanian television presenter Amarda Toska. Together they have two children, a daughter and a son.[2]
