Aylin Cadîr started her career at sixteen when she took part in Romania’s version of Pop Idol and was chosen to be part of a girl band. The pop band was an interesting experience from which she learned what she could.
In 2008 she graduated from the Hyperion University of Acting being active as a professional actress ever since. She is a fun and sensitive presence both on stage and off stage, being an artist people enjoy working with. She is often asked what she loves doing most: acting or singing and what she would rather do. Her answer is always the same: "I don't see why i should give up one for the other. I love them equally, but I consider myself more of an actress then a singer. I think the fact that i have the training of an actor enhances my singing."
She switched her attention to jazz music when she was still studying acting. She started joining small jazz bands with which she performed in small jazz clubs in Romania. Aylin says she gained her 'musical training' in these small jazz clubs.
After establishing the line-up of "The Lucky Charms", the band she performs with in concerts, she started working on the first album. For this she joined forces with a few musical producers and composers like Elena Morosanu and Moonlight Breakfast and in April 2013 she launched the pop-jazz album called ‘Cloud’. With this she brings a new kind of movement in the music industry in Romania. She successfully opens the borders between the mainstream and underground world in her country. The album gained a lot of appreciation in a few of european countries and was featured in playlists on radio stations in Germany and Turkey.
