Azis (born Vasil Troyanov Boyanov) is Bulgaria's most flamboyant chalga superstar, blending turbo-folk rhythms with pop-dance beats since bursting onto the scene in the late 1990s. Known for his raspy vocals and theatrical performances, this LGBTQ+ icon became a cultural phenomenon with hits like "Hop" and "Mrazish me," mixing traditional Balkan melodies with modern club beats. His 2020s releases like "Пак ми звъниш" and "Kazah 'NE'" prove he's still dominating the pop-folk charts, serving his signature mix of emotional ballads and party anthems dripping with Balkan drama.
Beyond the music, Azis became a household name through reality TV appearances and his unapologetic gender-bending style – rocking everything from leather harnesses to glittery gowns while rocking his signature handlebar mustache. As both a celebrated artist and controversial figure in Bulgarian society, he's released nearly 20 albums over three decades, collaborating with everyone from regional folk stars to Eurovision contestants. Whether you love him or hate him, Azis remains the undisputed king of chalga's glitter-covered throne.
