Zulya, is an acclaimed singer celebrated for her deep exploration of her Tatar roots and diverse musical influences. Born in the Volga-Kama region of Russia, Zulya belongs to the Tatar ethnic group, which has its own distinct language and cultural heritage. Since her move to Australia, Zulya developed a totally original approach which takes her Tatar and Australian identity to totally new places and in completely new ways.
She has independently produced nine albums to date, including ARIA-award winning 3 nights recorded with her band The Children of the Underground. The band brings a high level of sophistication in arrangement and musicianship to Zulya’s work, immediately apparent in their highly-acclaimed albums. They showcase the band’s impressive playing, intricate compositions and arrangements.
The Children of the Underground are Anthony Schulz – accordion, Andrew Tanner – double bass, Lucas Michailidis – guitar and Phil Collings – drums.
We are lucky to have Zulya running The Boite and although she doesn’t have as much time for music any more, she remains a formidable presence in the contemporary music scene, captivating listeners with her beautiful voice and inventive musical journeys.
