About Me

....
Burak Ersöz was born in Ankara on 28th of July 1977.His interest in music started in his early teens as a listener.He used to play air-drums with his favourite records.He started playing real drums at age of 17 by taking private lessons from Zeki Ertunç for two years.After his 6th month of drumming he was accepted to his high schools orchestra.The Özel Yükselis 2 Lisesi orchestra entered to a national music competition which was held by Milliyet Newspaper all around Turkey.Özel Yükselis 2 Lisesi orchestra won the 1st place in Composition Branch,2nd place in Classical Performance Branch and 3rd place in Arrangement Branch.After finishing high school he won Gazi University Economics Faculty.He didnt prefer to go to conservatory or a music school at that time because he has serious doubts about negative effects of classical music school training on a musicians improvisational skills.during his university years he played with many bands.He keeps on playing with many bands.His playing credits include bands and shows like Fender Blenders,WattzUp,Boogie People,Soul Stuff,Rock Stuff,Fishmind,Gilles Guillou,Black,Ayhan Sicimoglu and Latin All Stars,Passaparola TV Show Orchestra for two seasons,opening act for Blues Brothers Band in their Turkey Tour in 2001 with Boogie People,Opening act for Uriah Heep with Soul Stuff,opening act again for Blues Brothers in 2006 and many more bands and events……He is still a member of Özge Fiskin,Soul Stuff,Fishmind and Ayhan Sicimoglu and Latin All Stars.The reason that makes him play music is to achieve real soul happiness then to make a world known career as a musician-drummer.To inspire people around the world with his music.His background is mostly Blues,Blues rock,Classic rock,Rock n roll.But he loves to listen all styles of musics that really swings.He has great love and passion for Jazz and Big Band jazz music.He wants to try to play in studio recordings and in jazz,jazz-fusion bands also.Another latin jazz-fusion project is on the way.The name of the project will be Emerge And See.His major influences are Buddy Rich,Papa Joe Jones,Louie Bellson,Santana,Dom Um Romao,Astor Piazzola,Ian Paice,John Bonham,Stewart Copeland,Billy Cobham and of course my musician friends and all the people that i love and that loves me.Arkadaslarim 77 de dogdum,gençligimde davula basladim,okulumu bitirdim,halen davul çaliyorum ve çok iyi bir davulcu ve müzisyen olmak istiyorum:):)Bu mudur?
