Pilar Giménez García (born May 29, 1982), known first as An Ling, then as Ailyn, is a Spanish singer born in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain. She is a former female vocalist of the Norwegian gothic metal band Sirenia, she is also known as a member of the young team in the Spanish version of X Factor (TV series).
Her first discographic contract was as part of the female trio Charm. After their first album, she wanted to try her luck as a solo artist, and under the name of An Ling (later became Ailyn), she began recording tracks on her own.
On April 9, 2008 Morten Veland announced Ailyn as the new singer of Sirenia, replacing Monika Pedersen. She was selected among more than 500 female singers that applied for Sirenia's female vocalist position.
Spanish singer/songwriter Ailyn has been performing professionally since the early '00s. She started off as a solo artist before becoming the lead vocalist of the popular Norwegian symphonic metal act Sirenia. Ailyn was a member of Sirenia until 2016, releasing four albums with them. She then took a short hiatus from her musical career before announcing her return with Her Chariot Awaits, a collaboration with Adrenaline Mob guitarist Mike Orlando. The band released one album, a self-titled debut via Frontiers Music Srl. Since 2020, she has also been working with Norwegian gothic/symphonic black metal band Trail Of Tears as well, handling soprano vocals for the band.
In working with Frontiers on Her Chariot Awaits, Ailyn and the label developed a good working relationship and eventually brought her together with producer Aldo Lonobile to discuss the possibility of making a more symphonic metal sounding album compared to the contemporary hard rock sound of Her Chariot Awaits. AIlyn headed to Italy to work with Aldo and record her vocals and thus Burn The Beauty by Lunarian came to life.
For Lunarian, Ailyn teamed up with producer Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Archon Angel, Sweet Oblivion) to write songs for an engaging, mesmerizing symphonic metal album. And that is exactly what you get with Burn The Beauty.
