Don Xhoni was born as Xhonatan Isufi on 8 April 2000 into an Albanian family in the village of Çikatovë e Re near Drenas, Kosova.[1][2] After rosing to prominence, Isufi was featured on Albanian singer Enca's "Break Down" in July 2020.[3] The song attained commercial success in Albania, reaching number 1 on the country's Top 100 chart.[4] He further gained international recognition in late 2020, after his single, "Make a pose (Freestyle)", turned viral on the social media platform TikTok.[5][6][7] Isufi's chart success ensued into October 2021 with the single, "Trust me", which peaked at number 13 in Albania and number 72 in Switzerland.[8] By November 2021, his collaboration with Swiss-Albanian rapper Loredana on his follow-up "Gjuj për to" had reached the top five in Albania and number 32 in Swiss Singles Top 100 chart.[9][10] A month later, he was featured on Kosovo-Albanian singer Butrint Imeri's successful single "Corazon" in December 2021.
