Hi everyone!

I'm a self taught singer-songwriter & tv composer from Istanbul, Turkey. In 1999 I started my music career with my debut album "Beni Ellere Verdin" with 6 of my own somgs and 4 Turkish traditional songs in Pop-Rock genre.


I kept releasing albums as a singer-songwriter but I can say I found the real joy of making music in composing for Turkish TV Series which later became popular in Europe and LatAm. I play acoustic and classical guitar and also try to learn violin these days. I'm very happy to attend GEMS.
