Early life
Born in Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Kizil is from a Turkish family from Bayburt,[1] and her first name, Bahar, means "spring" (the season) in Turkish. At age 12, she started with ballet. In her town, she sang with four different bands prior to the Popstars casting.

After their break-up in 2011, she started her solo-career in 2013 and premiered with her song "Drank" featuring SpaceBoyz. In the same year, her song "Medusa" featuring Nitro came out. In 2015, she released her debut album Bullets of Love, which did not peaked the Official Charts. In 2017, she participated on the German dance show Dance Dance Dance and teamed up with No Angels singer Sandy Mölling.
After a long music break, Kizil came back in 2019 as a lead vocalist in the pop group Traumfrequenz. In the same year, she released her solo songs "What Eyes Cannot See" and "C'est ma vie".
