About Me

Born in Istanbul, currently living in Vienna, no idea where he'll end one day. Started his career as a rock singer and soon expanded his style to jazz, soul, funk, reggae, dub, etc. After singing in numerous bands he decided to go his own way and continued his journey towards electronics. The self-didactic songwriter/singer/producer is currently working on his debut album in his home studio in Vienna, 2nd district...

Regularly having gigs with Deejays of Oddtime Records and Viennese improvised-groovez Band Acid Jazz Orbits. Plans to begin to perform his own project live as soon as the album is ready.
