Ayliva's beginnings on TikTok

In December 2020, Ayliva posts an excerpt of her later debut single "Deine Schuld" on the piano - it's a break-up song and a farewell to a toxic relationship. Shortly afterwards, Ayliva publishes her ex-boyfriend's abusive reaction as a recorded voice message. This TikTok goes viral: women share their experiences of toxic relationships and domestic violence.
Ayliva is overwhelmed by the feedback and encourages women to talk about it.
In March 2021, Ayliva's debut single "Deine Schuld" is released - a reckoning with her ex. The foundation is laid for a series of heartbreak ballads.

Who is at Ayliva's side?

With Ayliva, big emotions are carried by big vocals and lots of drama. Ayliva wants to bring her listeners back to their point of pain so that they can heal. But Ayliva has two sides. The big emotional heartbreak side, but also songs with empowering rap interludes (the "healed" Ayliva).

At Ayliva's side are producer Lee and her boyfriend masri. Lee, for example, has also worked with Loredana, who incorporates even more rap elements than Ayliva, but deals with just as much emotion in her lyrics.

Ayliva has also released several features, including the song "Sie weiß" with Mero, which became a number one hit, and "Wunder" with Apache 207, which also went through the roof. There is also a video for the song with the kind of storytelling that was still very popular in the 2000s.

Great emotions at Ayliva Live

She performs live on the big stages: whether at the Southside Festival, in the Lanxess Arena or on New Year's Eve on the stage at the Brandenburg Gate - Ayliva sweeps the audience away with her emotional shows.

Ayliva has now become so big that she is not only a German artist supporting Alicia Keys, she also has an incredible reach, so much so that she was nominated for the 1Live Krone 2023 audience award as "best artist" alongside Nina Chuba, among others.
