ock’n’rolling! Writing songs, singing them.

In addition to his solo career, he is the frontman of the band “South of Blue”, which he founded in early 2016.

Born in a small but multicultural city with a diverse art scene in Turkey, he came into contact with music from his earliest childhood. After successfully graduating from the municipal conservatory and two private music schools, he founded his first professional band in 2007 and played in many different projects and events.

After moving to Chemnitz for his master’s degree in 2015, he quickly found his place in the art and culture scene there. At the beginning of 2016 he founded the band “South of Blue” and already in May 2016 they released their first album, which should only be the starting signal for numerous concerts, cultural events and prizes. Until now, he and his band have released two more albums and an EP.

Independently of other projects, he gave concerts as a solo artist for many years and started working on his solo project in 2019. The first single from it was released in November 2019, followed by a second single and a music video in early 2020. The debut EP “Lepiska” was released in November 2021.
