Ayliva, whose real name is Elif Akar, was born in Recklinghausen and is now one of the most successful pop artists in the German-speaking world. She showed musical talent at an early age, taught herself piano and guitar and wrote her own poems - the basis for her profound lyrics.

Her breakthrough came in 2020 via TikTok, where an emotional excerpt of her song "Deine Schuld" went viral and triggered a broad social response. Since then, she has delighted audiences with hits such as "Wenn ich wein", "Schmetterlinge" and "Sie weiß (feat. Mero)", as well as with her albums "Weißes Herz" and "Schwarzes Herz".

Ayliva not only impresses in the studio, but also live: in 2023 she played a sold-out arena tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and has already supported Alicia Keys. Her music combines pop, R'n'B and soul with personal depth and social relevance.
