Sevara Nazarkhan

The dichotomy between ancient and modern exists within Sevara’s own oeuvre. In Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s capital, she is a pop star. Her first group in 1998 was a soulful women’s quartet. During this period, she also sang in the city’s popular arts café, Taxi Blues. A year later, she released her debut album and established herself as a solo singer. Despite her choice of western musical forms, her roots are apparent.

Sevara’s father, formerly a vocalist of European classical music, headed the traditional music department in Tashkent radio before his retirement. Her mother teaches traditional string instruments and is the director of an extracurricular music school.

In 1996 she joined an all-women doutar ensemble and then enrolled in the Uzbek National Conservatory. In 1999 she was drafted in as a member of Uzbekistan's answer to The Spice Girls and became something of a pop star in Uzbekistan.
