About Me

I write and produce my own music. I have been busy to record a new album for the last couple of years. Before that my band played for years around Istanbul. In 1996 one of my songs called SERUVEN AZIZLERI won the first prize as the best song and lyrics contest at the TUBORG FESTIVAL and in 1998 the first album came out under the name of SERUVEN, which was also the band's name. I had a chance to play with fantastic musicians while recording SERUVEN's album as Yavuz Çetin, Akin Eldes, Ayse Tutuncu, Cengiz Baysal, Fuat Guner, Fuat Domanic and some others.Then a member of the band seperated and joined to DUMAN, and I decided to go solo. Before I finished this second one I have worked with some other musicians as a back vocalist both on the stage and in the studio sessions like Bulutsuzluk Ozlemi, Yavuz Çetin, Mehmet Güreli, MFO, Tanju Eren and etc. Anyway my recordings took almost three years and finally earlier this year I finished the post production. I wanted to upload a couple of my songs to share them with people. I look forward to hear from everyone who listen my music and share their ideas with me. Recently I have joined the band called Yuksek Sadakat as their lead vocalist after the former soloist has quit. We have started working on the the songs for the upcoming album due to March 2008. Thank you all.///////////////////////////////////////////////// 1996 yilinda Tuborg tarafindan duzenlenen muzik yarismasinda SERUVEN AZIZLERI adli sarkimin en iyi beste ve soz dalinda birincillik odulu almasindan sonra, 1998 yilinda, Seruven adi altinda Ari Barokas ile kurdugumuz ikili ile ilk albumumuzu EMI den yayinladik. Bu albumde Yavuz Cetin, Akin Eldes, Ayse Tutuncu, Cengiz Baysal, Fuat Guner, Fuat Domanic gibi pek cok muthis muzisyenle çalisma sansini yakaladim. Daha sonra müzikal fikir ayriliklarindan dolayi yola yanliz devam etmeyi karar verdim. Bundan sonraki donemde yeni album kayitlarina baslamadan once Yavuz Cetin, Bulutsuzluk Ozlemi, Mehmet Gureli, MFO, Tanju Eren gibi pek cok muzisyenin sahne performanslari ve studyo kayitlarinda çalistim. 2000-2004 yillari arasinda yeni album sarkilarini yazip geçtigimiz yil kayit ve mixleri bitirdim. Kayitlarda yedi sarkinin aranjmanlari Ulug Aydeniz, iki parcanin aranjmani Temel Zumrut ve bir parcanin aranjmani da Akin Eldes tarafindan yapildi. Gectigimiz gunlerde eski vokalistlerinin gruptan ayr--lmas--ndan sonra gelen teklifi de--erlendirerek Yuksek Sadakat toplulugunun yeni solisti olarak cal--smaya basladim. 2008 in ilk aylar--nda piyasaya cikmasi planlanan ikinci Y.S. albümünün yeni sarkilarinin provalari devam etmekte.
