Sevil Hajiyeva (1968–2000) was a prominent Azerbaijani singer, renowned as the lead vocalist for the music groups Karvan and Qaya. A graduate of the piano department at the Baku Academy of Music, she rose to fame in the late 1980s, captivating audiences with her performances in song contests like Baku Autumn-88 and Yurmala-89. Her dynamic stage presence and emotive voice left an indelible mark on Azerbaijan's pop music scene. Tragically, her promising career was cut short when she was fatally shot during an armed robbery in Los Angeles in 2000.
