Biography[edit]

Aysel was born in the Azerbaijani capital Baku, the youngest of the three daughters of a journalist and university professor. She is a descendant of the nineteenth-century Azerbaijani author and journalist Hasan bey Zardabi. Her maternal grandmother was half-Russian, half-Ukrainian.[1] Aysel started to sing at the age of four and the piano became her passion since childhood.

Aysel graduated from the Intellect Lyceum in Baku and attended Texas High School (Texarkana, Texas) in 2005–2006. Within days of her arrival in the United States, she signed up for the local choir and began training for young vocalists competitions.[2] While in the U.S., Aysel won three gold medals at contests held at Southern Arkansas University and at the University of Texas at Austin.[2] In 2005, she participated in Season 4 of the national song contest Yeni Ulduz ("New Star"). As of January 2009, Teymurzadeh was majoring in International Relations at the Azerbaijan University of Languages.[3]

On May 16, 2009, Aysel Teymurzadeh and Arash finished third with 207 points, among the 25 performers that qualified for the Eurovision grand final.[5]

On May 28, Teymurzadeh announced going on a European tour with Arash, involving concerts in countries such as Sweden, Greece and Russia.[7] Upon return she announced that together with Arash and his team she is working on an album, which will be released by Sony BMG and Warner Music.[8][9] The date of release is unknown.

She starred in a high-profile TV commercial for Danone yogurts, which was broadcast on Azerbaijani and Georgian TV channels.[10]
