Biography
Early Life
Susana Alimivna Jamaladinova, known professionally as Jamala, was born on August 27, 1983, in Osh, Kirghiz SSR, to a Muslim Crimean Tatar father and an Armenian mother. Her family has a rich musical background; her mother was a music school teacher, and her father was a conductor. Jamala's ancestors faced significant hardships, as her Crimean Tatar family was forcibly resettled from Crimea during Stalin's regime. In 1989, they returned to Crimea, where Jamala grew up surrounded by music and culture.
Career
Jamala's passion for music blossomed early, leading her to make her first professional recording at just nine years old. She pursued formal music education, graduating from the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine as an opera singer, but ultimately chose a career in pop music. Her debut album, "For Every Heart," was released in 2011, featuring the hit single "You Are Made of Love." Jamala gained international fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016 with her powerful song "1944," which addressed the historical injustices faced by her people. Since then, she has released several albums, including "All Or Nothing" and "Крила," and has served as a judge on the Ukrainian national selection for Eurovision.
Personal Life
Jamala married Bekir Suleimanov in April 2017, and the couple has three sons together. Fluent in multiple languages, including Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar, Russian, and English, she has remained active in her community, especially during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In February 2022, she and her children left Ukraine due to the Russian invasion, initially seeking refuge in Romania before settling in Turkey. Jamala continues to advocate for her culture and people, participating in various charitable projects and maintaining her artistic career amidst challenging circumstances.
