WAZZUP and its impact
Pakashtica has hosted over 1500 episodes for the TV show WAZZUP that aired for the first time on 10th November 2014 and would be broadcasted from 4 pm to 5 pm every working day of the week. When Pakashtica was in New York for a concert with “World Peace Orchestra”, he had to give an interview to Klan Kosova Television. As the interview came to an end, the director asked Pakashtica to host an entertainment show that would involve new and upcoming music artists. Pakashtica took up the offer, and WAZZUP was created that covered youth and new music. After working nonstop for three years, Pakashtica was promoted and given a new author position for the WAZZUP TV show in the company.
As Pakashtica was hosting, he watched shows that James Corden hosted by closely analyzing his ability to control his speech and emotions. During his time with WAZZUP, Pakashtica was responsible for covering the one-hour broadcasting time and producing creative work to keep audiences hooked. Pakashtica has interviewed famous singers and personalities, including Rihanna’s father, Donald Fenty, and covered Dua Lipa’s festival “Sunny Hill Festival” in Prishtina. Pakashtica has presented a quiz for children with the name of ChampionQuiz for two seasons while on WAZZUP and has hosted shows named “Summer Zone” and “Ora E Mbremjes” for one season each.
Inspirations as a singer
As Pakashtica was laying the groundwork of becoming a singer, he listened to many musical artists that would evoke inspiration and give value-addition to his singing capabilities. Pakashtica’s closest friends moved him to improve his skills, while John Mayer motivated Pakashtica and inspired him to make more music that would impact the world.
“My inspiration is my friends who are in my closed circle, and Stanaj is one of them, but he doesn’t know. Also, John Mayer has had a huge impact on my guitar skills,” said Pakashtica.
Pakashtica has worked hard with patience and consistency and began his career step by step.
Maya Angelou once said, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty,” and Pakashtica is truly a fine example of going through different processes to achieve the victories that he has under his belt.
