Actress, dancer, singer. Now, also a writer. Passionate about the works of Jane Austen and Rebecca Yarros, Emily Shaqiri makes her bookshop debut with “Painted Whispers. A love that challenges prejudices.” Already available on shelves since September 24, the novel published by Cairo narrates the meeting, and the inevitable clash, between two opposing universes. One, that of the brilliant law student Eric: rational, pragmatic, characterized by luxury and comfort; the other, that of aspiring artist Isabella, focuses on simplicity and the determination to make one’s dreams come true. Distant worlds, destined to intersect due to an irrepressible attraction. But also having to deal, at a certain point, with everyday reality.
A whirlwind of emotions, in short. Like the one that marked Emily’s professional life from an early age. Who, at just twenty years old, boasts a considerable CV. On the small screen he arrived at the age of seven in the Raiuno drama “Una Buon Season”, alongside Luisa Ranieri; at eight, she starred in the short film “Doppia luce”, an effort that earned her her first important recognition: the “Best Supporting Actress” award at the Superman Film Festival in Illinois.
But it is with “Miracle Tunes” that the then fourteen-year-old established himself as a reference face for younger people. In the television show directed by Roberto Cenci, a format considered a pop phenomenon in Japan at the time, she plays a very young talented artist who, when necessary, does not hesitate to transform herself into a warrior to defeat evil with the sound of music and dance, alongside her companions of adventure. A role that inevitably captures attention. And which pave the way for other important projects, including the Netflix series “Diari”, the music album “Va tutto bene” and the film “Gli absent”.
Very popular on social media – on TikTok alone she boasts over 700 thousand followers – Emily seems to have a bright future ahead of her. «I would like to do something in the Disney field», he revealed. «I am very attached to everything it represents as imaginary. I know the songs by heart, a fantasy project would be wonderful.”
