Enisa Nikaj was born in Brooklyn, New York to Albanian parents from Tuzi, Montenegro.[1][2][3] Her father emigrated from the SFR Yugoslavia to the United States at the age of 25, and was later followed by her mother.[4] Enisa is a middle child, and has an older and a younger brother, both of whom took up playing basketball while Enisa leaned towards music.[5] She began singing at home as a young child.[6] Enisa attended PS 130 The Parkside elementary school,[7] where she participated in theater and the school choir,[3] graduating as valedictorian.[7] At age seven, she played the role of Dorothy in a school play of The Wizard of Oz in the fourth grade.[4][8]
Enisa attended I.S. 259 William McKinley Junior High School, where she was in a rock band,[8] and Edward R. Murrow High School, graduating in 2015.[9] Rapper Joey Badass was one of her schoolmates.[10] She attended Brooklyn College, graduating early with a bachelor's degree in business administration in May 2018.[5][8][11] She plays the piano, and has done internships at advertising agencies.[12] Enisa grew up listening to Albanian music, in addition to artists such as Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone and Justin Timberlake. She has cited Adele and Amy Winehouse as her inspirations.

She has a strong drive to succeed and achieve her goals, fueled by a desire to avoid an "average" life. She believes in herself and her ability to overcome challenges, drawing strength from past experiences where she was discouraged but ultimately proved her doubters wrong. This determination was evident when she started her career by making YouTube covers, a proactive approach to enter the music industry when connections were limited. Enisa has faced challenges in her career, including discouragement from industry professionals, but she has used these experiences as motivation to work harder and prove herself.

She is known for her long hair, which she keeps healthy by avoiding heat treatments and getting regular haircuts. Enisa's style is described as classic with a modern twist, drawing inspiration from New York City, particularly the fashion seen in SoHo and on Fifth Avenue. Before her music career took off, she had a successful modeling career, including the Prom Guide cover and various editorial shoots. Enisa has shared that her everyday makeup routine differs from her special occasion looks, often incorporating a bolder eyeliner for the latter. Enisa's Albanian heritage and Brooklyn upbringing are reflected in her music and style.
