About Me

Aysu müzikle daha doğmadan, annesinin karnındayken tanıştı. Annesi, Avustralya’ya gitmesiyle artan memleket hasretini azıcık olsun dindirmek için her gece Müzzeyyen abla’dan bir kaç parça söyleyerek, Aysu’nun daha doğmadan müziğe aşık olmasını sağladı….Aysu’nun şimdiye kadar ki hayatının yarısı Melbourne ve İzmir arası uçmakla geçti. Bu nedenden ötürü kalbi hem batı hem de doğu müziğine açıktır. 19 yaşındayken Avustralya’da Victoria Universitesinin Guzel Sanatlar Dans ve Tiyatro bölümünü bitirdi. İlk gurubu ‘Funk The distance’ı 2003’de kurdu. Aynı zamanda Camarón ve Nina Simone’e aşık oldu. Jazz ve müzik bilgisini geliştirmek için 2005’de NMIT’de müzik eğitimi aldı. Avsutralya’da, Turkiye’den çok çok uzakta olduğu halde Erkan Oğur’un müziğiyle tanıştı ve evet, tekrar asik oldu. ‘Gotan Project’ ve ‘Ömer Faruk Tekbilek’ gibi isimlerle aynı sahneyi paylaştı. 2000-2008 arası birçok grupla beraber sahneye çıktı. Bunların bazıları: Uber Lingua, Jacketoff, Aysu Souls,Trio Baklava ve Zaray’dır.Ve bu gruplarla Avustralya'nın birçok farklı şehrinde sayısız kez festivallerde ve venuelerde sahne aldı. Son 2 yıldır kendi projesi; Aysu Cöğür Proje ile ilgilenmektedir. Şu anda İstanbul’da, müzik serüveni devam etmektedir.


‘A life well sung, is a Life well lived my friend’ A.C.

If you’re singing before you’re talking and dancing before you’re walking… it’s a pretty a good indication that you will somehow be involved in the arts in someway. Still to this day, I seem to sing easier than talking and I fall over more frequently than being able to walk a straight line. Music has always been there it seems, even before I was born my mother sensed a 4/4 rhythm been kicked in her womb. Ofcourse that rhythm did eventually become 6/8 and 7/8 and so on. For now I’m residing in Istanbul exploring my roots, the culture and the music. Also working on my solo project. it’s been a long time coming but it feels like it's the right time. Big big big LOVE to all who have inspired me in all directions, whether it be in my music, acting or dancing. Brothers & Sisters, Take you’re dreams on…. ?

If this environment isn't created do you know what will happen to you? The energy you have, you're will and all you're hopes and dreams will turn into cancer. All you're energy will be poured into the wrong ideals such as shovanistic and macho behaviour. Than you will end up in prison... 20 years.... 30 years.... Some of you will die in prison. Some may get shot (by the Government) Some will be involved in drug or white woman traffiking. The only way for change is; REVOLUTION...
