A young girl known from the last season of "The Voice of Bulgaria" - Dani Ilieva - presents her new song entitled "Shte Tseluna li/Will I kiss". In 2022, when she was only 16, Dani became the youngest performer to win the "Burgas and the Sea" song contest. Despite her young age, she has won dozens of awards from national and international music competitions.

In April, Dani Ilieva presented her new song "Will I Kiss" on the stage of the International Rose Culture Festival in Sanya, China. Among the audience, numbering over 500 people, were official guests from several regions of China, as well as the Ambassador of Mauritius. Bulgaria‘s Ambassador to China Andrey Tehov also attended the festival. “We knew what you were singing about without knowing Bulgarian“, people said after the event, stopping Dani for photos and autographs. "An unforgettable experience! The stage was remarkable. The organizers surprised me with a ballet and choreography especially for my performance. I saw tears in the eyes of the audience and felt that I managed to convey the emotion. I saw how music unites us and speaks a universal language. I am happy that our song is reaching more people". said Dani Ilieva.


This is not the end of the young singer's performances abroad - she successfully passed an audition and will participate in the World Championship of Performing Arts in Rome in September.

Ivan Angelov, who authored the lyrics of more than 150 popular songs, wrote the lyrics of "Will I Kiss". The music is by Eftim Chakarov from Studio RE - the music producer of Dani Ilieva. The arrangement is by Rosen Parlapanov and Eftim Chakarov.

The video was filmed in Paris, with some of the footage shot at the Eiffel Tower:

"We traveled to France for 4 days. We rented bicycles and moved around like real Parisians. It was amazing! Filming at the Eiffel Tower is a unique feeling", said Dani Ilieva.
