Sevdaliza | Dutch Iranian Singer, Artist · Musician · Band

Sevda Alizadeh , known professionally as Sevdaliza, is an Iranian-Dutch singer, songwriter and record producer.

Sevdaliza (Teheran, Iran) is an autodidactic singer, songwriter, director and composer.

Her creations contrast husky vocals with cutting strings and bass lines setting an enigmatic mood.

Born in Iran and residing in the Netherlands, the 28-year-old has made quite the impression with her consistent release of audiovisual experiences.

Sevdaliza’s melancholic visceral voice floats over beds of thumping triphop dubs, married with classical harmonies.

Rhythmic tensions build slowly into chaotic climaxes.

Her work has been described as “genre-bending”, drawing on various genres including electronic, punk, triphop, grime and the avant-garde.

Her writing, influenced by greater novelists, has a philosophical questioning character; subjects like gender diversification and perception of emotion are strongly present.

Masculine and feminine energy blend harmonically within. Sevdaliza plays with the simulation of identities and fantasies that can hardly be distinguished from reality.

Creating a world where everything is possible. To Sevdaliza, expression comes forward in designing every detail in sound and imagery.

Her music is charged with demanding energy and consists of an enormous amount of dynamics. It portrays a porcelain yet deep fullness.

Her creations attracted worldwide attention.

She self-released her internationally acclaimed debut EP “The Suspended Kid and the follow-up “Children of Silk”.

Both EP’s were well received worldwide with the likes of international press and fans. Meanwhile, her music has been synced on the runway and on screen for film and TV.

Sevdaliza just debuted with the ISON LP.

The release of this album was received with praise by basically all leading media worldwide. The release of the album was followed by a sold-out headline tour through Europe and the US.

In May, Sevdaliza released a short film titled The Formula, which tells the story of how “the pain of losing an unborn child destroyed the balance in marriage and leads to tragedy.” Iranian Singer

Sevdaliza, the Iranian singer responsible for some of the most disarming electronic pop of recent years, has finally announced her debut album.

Due for release in 2017, the title of the full-length has not yet been revealed, but Sevdaliza has shared a video for the first single, ‘Human’.

Directed by Emmanuel Adjei and based on a concept from Sevdaliza herself, the video casts the artist as a mythological creature at the center of the male gaze.

It’s a beautiful and challenging piece that’s bolstered by She’s glacial beats and delicate vocals.

Born in Tehran to political refugees, Sevdaliza moved to the Netherlands at a young age, traveling the world as an athlete before settling on a music career.

She was recently featured on Parisian producer STWO’s latest single ‘Haunted’, which notched up over 5.9 million streams on Spotify and SoundCloud combined.

She’s melancholic, a visceral voice floats over beds of thumping trip-hop and classical harmonies; rhythmic tensions build slowly into chaotic climaxes.

Drawing on electronic, grime and cyberpunk aesthetics, She’s songs address gender expectations and human nature. Performing with her band, She’s live show is powerfully dramatic.

Overflowing with emotion and rich with metaphor, she embodies her songs and it’s here that her impressive vocals really shine.
