An ultra-modern enigma, armed with a million brilliant ideas, Aliashka is the perfect pop polymath. A French singer, songwriter, composer, dancer and actor, with Mongolian and Dutch roots, she arrives with an all-encompassing, futuristic pop sound: unique, dazzling and irresistible.

Aliashka began her artistic life at college, writing songs and poems, influenced by authors like Victor Hugo, Celine, Tolstoy and Emily Dickinson, but also more contemporary writers Stephen King and George Orwell. Thrilled by the rush of creativity, she channelled her passion into music, learning to sing with tutor Peterson Cowan, and steadily refining and re-defining her singular vision of what pop music could be. She wrote and recorded her first songs in 2011, in collaboration with film composer Jean-Pierre Taïeb.

A self-taught songwriter, Aliashka has since developed her own unique way of composing and singing, with a vivid and vital combination of poetry, word play, eccentric figures of speech and sound games. On long-awaited debut album Pochette Surprise, her wild imagination and razor-sharp pop sensibilities combine in a shower of rainbow sparks.

An inspirational, euphoric blend of cutting edge pop, orchestral extravagance, alien electronics and the coolest hip-hop beats, Pochette Surprise is a sublime showcase for Aliashka’s esoteric modernism.
