Alsou Ralifovna Abramova, better known as Alsou, is a prominent Russian singer and actress who first captivated the Russian music scene in her teens. Born on June 27, 1983, in Bugulma Tatar ASSR, RSFSR, USSR (now Tatarstan, Russia), she is the daughter of Ralif Safin, a Russian oligarch and former vice president of Lukoil, which no doubt gave her an auspicious start in the music industry. However, Alsou's talent shone independently of her family's influence, and she quickly became known for her distinctive voice and emotive performances.

Alsou’s rise to fame was meteoric, cemented by her runner-up performance in the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Solo," bringing her recognition beyond her homeland. Following this, Alsou released a string of successful albums and singles in Russia and embarked on a career that saw her become one of Russia's most beloved contemporary pop artists. Her ability to connect with audiences through her music is evident in her recent releases such as "Буду я любить" and "Скучаю вопреки." Her range in style is visible from emotional ballads like "Замело" to its dance remix "Замело (DFM Mix)," and patriotic anthems like "Гимн Татарстана," which showcase her versatility as an artist. In addition to her music career, Alsou has also made a name for herself in acting, adding another dimension to her already multi-faceted public persona. Her continued popularity in the post-Soviet space is a testament to her enduring talent and adaptability in the ever-evolving landscape of popular music.
