Abdieski is the eldest child born to a Macedonian Albanian father and a Montenegrin Albanian mother.[3] Raised in Bern alongside three younger siblings, she spent much of her childhood in the Bern borough of Bümpliz-Oberbottigen, where she was enrolled at primary and secondary school.[4] Her father died of cancer in 1992.[5] At eleven, Abdieski became part of her first school band and by the age of thirteen, she began writing songs.[3] After leaving school, she was trained as qualified office employee,[3] but as she hoped to embark on a professional singing career, Abdieski enrolled at the Swiss Musical Academy in Bern – much against the wishes of her mother, who was sceptical about her daughter's ambition, prompting Abdieski to leave home and move into a girls' flat-sharing community in 2002.[5] To fund her academical training, she was forced to take four side jobs at times.[6]
