Vasil Troyanov Boyanov (Bulgarian:Васил Троянов Боянов; born 7 March 1978), professionally known asAzis (Bulgarian:Азис), is aBulgarian recording artist ofRomani ethnicity.[3][4] Azis initially rose to prominence inEastern Europe performing songs mostly inchalga, a genre which can be described as the Bulgarian rendition ofpop-folk.Azis has collaborated with other Bulgarian pop-folk singers, such asGloria,Malina,Sofi Marinova,Toni Storaro, and with Bulgarianrap artists – Ustata and Vanko 1.[5][6] Other than that, his repertoire includes duets with singers from theformer Yugoslavia, includingIndira Radić,Marta Savić,Jelena Karleuša,Severina andTea Tairović.
Boyanov performed "Let Me Cry" at theEurovision Song Contest 2006 withMariana Popova, staying in the semi-finals.[7][8]
Other than his acclaimed career as a vocalist, he competed unsuccessfully in the2005 Bulgarian parliamentary election as a member of theEuroroma party.[9]
Azis remains a prominent figure in theBulgarian music scene.
Vasil Troyanov Boyanov was born into a modestRoma family[10] inSliven, Bulgaria. He spent his childhood inKostinbrod andSofia. In 1989, after thefall of communism in Bulgaria, he moved with his family toGermany. There, his sister, Matilda, and brother Ryan were born. Azis married Nikolay "Niki Kitaetsa" Petrov Parvanov on 1 October 2006. Their marriage is not legally recognized underBulgarian law.[11] Azis' daughter was born on 5 August 2007 and was named Raya. Her mother is Azis' longtime friend, Gala.[11] In 2008, Azis and Parvanov separated amicably.[12]
In late November 2007,Boyko Borisov, thenmayor of Sofia, censored billboards of Azis kissing Niki Kitaetsa, which pictured both men shirtless[13][14] on the basis they were too graphic in nature. The picture was then censored in other cities in Bulgaria.[15]
In 2021, Azis was scheduled to perform at the Balkan Fair inKestel,Bursa, Turkey, but the performance was cancelled after a campaign byIslamists targeting Azis' LGBT identity.[16]
Greeklaïko vocalistPanos Kiamos, made acover of Azis' single "Sen Trope" entitled "Fotia me Fotia" (Fire to Fire). Serbianturbo-folk singerDragan Kojić Keba covered the same song as "Ona to zna" (She Knows That), as well as the Romanian singerFlorin Salam as "Saint Tropez".
In November 2012, the Greek singerGiorgos Tsalikis made a cover of Azis' song "Hop", entitled "Asto" (Let it).
