Aisulu: Kyrgyz Indie Singer Making Waves in Berlin
Aisulu, a young musician originally from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, has been making waves in Berlin's music scene. Now residing in the city for three years, she's honing her skills as a singer and preparing to release her debut album.
Aisulu's musical journey began at the age of six when she started learning piano, choir, and ear training at a music school in her home country. Her unique sound, a blend of indie influences, is difficult to categorise but resonates with her growing fanbase.
She writes her songs in a mix of Kyrgyz, Russian, and English, whichever language best captures her thoughts. This linguistic blend reflects her international journey and the diverse communities she's connected with. Aisulu's story is a testament to how music can transcend borders and bring people together.
In Berlin, Aisulu has found a supportive creative community from Central Asia. She's performed at the Kazakh Festival and the Central Asian Festival, showcasing her talent to her fellow expats and locals alike. She also gives singing lessons at a studio opened by her friends Nikita and Isabell, further nurturing the city's musical ecosystem.
When she's not in the studio or on stage, Aisulu is pursuing her studies in film at the Free University of Berlin and working part-time to support her musical pursuits.
Aisulu's first album is slated for release by the end of the year, promising a fresh blend of indie sounds infused with her Kyrgyz heritage. As she continues to grow as an artist and connect with her community, Aisulu's music serves as a reminder of the power of music to unite and inspire.
