Due to his job appointment, Ilhama Guliyeva spent her very early years in Shaki city of Azerbaijan.

However, when Ilhama reaches the age of six, her parents divorce.

At this early age, she gets enrolled in a 7-year musical school for piano training in Baku.

As Guliyeva finishes both musical and high schools, with a great desire she wants to build her profession in the musical field.

Nevertheless, young Ilhama faces definitive dissent from her parents.

By the request of Mrs. Zinyat, Ilhama Guliyeva gets permission from her family and flies to Russia.

Her family thought she was going to the festival as a spectator.

Competing with young singers from many countries, Ilhama Guliyeva performs the songs of Rauf Hajiyev and Tofig Guliyev.
