Getoar Selimi was born on 3 July 1982 in the city of Pristina, then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, present Kosovo.[3][4] Selimi together with Kosovo-Albanian musicians Besa Gashi and Jeton Topusha formed the musical group Tingulli 3nt and began their career as a group in 1996.[3] They rose to national prominence in the Albanian-speaking Balkans with the release of six successful studio albums, which altogether significantly contributed to the rise of their stardom.[3][4] Selimi continues to be member of Tingulli 3nt and commenced to release occasional solo projects since 2012.[3]
By 2012, Selimi went on to release his first single "N'Prishtinë" in November, which he dedicated to his hometown Pristina.[5][6] His follow-up single, "E nxonme", was released approximately a year after in September 2013.[7]
As of 2015, Selimi resides with his wife Albanian television presenter Marina Vjollca in a residence they bought in Tirana, Albania.[8][9] After their engagement, he married Vjollca on 10 September 2017.[10][11][12] On 24 November 2021, Vjollca gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Marget Selimi, in Tirana.[13][14][15]
