About Me
I decided to play guitar when I was 7. I have to take courses, I did, but left it after 2 months and I started to practice on my own. I play lead guitar for 11 years now.
2 years ago I formed Leather Charm (Death/Trash Metal) I play several gigs with the band and we recorded 3 EP's -Creeping Death (2007), The Midnight Comedy (2007), Death From Above (2008)- Then, something gone wrong and the band dispersed.
I have to go on after a -short- break time. So I formed Elea (Hard Rock) and we recorded Always Somewhere Single. I played Rhythm, Lead & Bass Guitar in this record. But something gone wrong again and Elea dispersed too.
Then we decided to make something different with Gülfem Çelik. We formed "Saturnalia" with two members, me and her! We released "Yeraltı Çığlığı" single in December, we released "Sonsuz Düşlere Yolculuk" record in January. In April 2009 we released our first record, called "Dört". In July we ended Saturnalia for some reasons. Anyway, it was great experience for me.
Nowadays, I am working on my solo project, in my homemade studio. I will share my own songs with you, on my page, a little later.
I can also play Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Percussion & -a little bit- Drums (I wanted to be a drummer when I was a child, but i choose the right instrument for myself, but it is still enjoyable to play drums in studio) and Turkish traditional instrument Oud.
I love music, the best way to describe myself. And I also love to make music with different musicians.
Guitars: ESP M-II Deluxe, Cort 12-Strings Acoustic
Amp: Marshall MG-15DFX
Pedals: Boss DS-1 (ADD+) Distortion, Wasburn Bad Dog Wah
