'I transformed from a blushing girl to someone sinister' sings Isolde van den Bulcke, better known as Tristan, on her debut album, which focuses on personal growth. The singer from Ghent studied Jazz Vocals at the Conservatory, after which she continued under the stage name SIAM (together with DJ Faisal). Since 2018 she uses the alter-ego Tristan, based on the medieval folktale of Tristan & Isolde, with which she evokes a striking mix of dark ambient, pop and jazz with a mysterious edge to it. Her autobiographical debut album Wellif was released in October.
