Early life

In late October 2023, İctimai Television (İTV) revealed a trio, consisting of Ilkin Dovlatov, Mila Miles and Etibar Asadli, as one of the sixteen shortlisted candidates in the 2024 Azerbaijani selection for the Eurovision Song Contest,[7] and the next week, they were announced to be among the six acts who had moved on to the final stage.[8] Their song was titled "İnsanlar".[9] On 7 March 2024, Fahree was revealed as the selected candidate.[10] However, on 13 March 2024, it was announced that Dovlatov would accompany Fahree on stage,[11] performing the song "Özünlə apar".[12] The duo failed to qualify from the first semi-final on 7 May 2024, placing 14th out of 15 with 11 points.[13]
