Hi all,I was born on 21st of August 1975 in Ankara-Turkey.I began playing the piano at the age of 6 but I somehow got bored of it and decided to play classical guitar when I was 10.I met with Cenk EROLU when I was 15 and it was the time when I met with electric guitar and music technology.I began playing sessions when I was about 20 at the studios in Ankara for various artists.I've studied classical guitar with Kagan KORAT at Bilkent University. I've graduated in 1998 and have moved to Istanbul a year later to attend a masters programme on sound engineering at the department of "Advanced Studies In Music" in Istanbul Technical University.I realized that I belong to the "other side of the window" in the studio so after 1.5 years of studying engineering, I've decided to get my masters degree on my main instrument, the classical guitar and did so with the help of very talented guitarist-teacher and a great friend of mine, Soner EGESEL.I've started my doctorate programme on guitar but for various reasons, I've quit being a student after 13 years of academic effort.In the meanwhile, I've played many sessions in the studio or live with names such as Demir DEMIRKAN, Sertab ERENER, Nil KARAIBRAHIMGIL, Burcu GÜNES, Nazan ÖNCEL, Tarkan and more. I've recently produced the album "Güldencaz" for highly talented pianist Gülden GÖKSEN.I'm currently playing with Sertab and Nil on various occasions.With kind invitations from Thomas CAPPELMAN-YAMAHA instruments and Bora USLUSOY from Modern Music Academy, I've recently gave a seminar on "Guitar on stage and in the studio". It was a new thing in my career but I enjoyed the stuff and I think I will do more of that kind of activities.I am endorsing YAMAHA guitars.The music you hear on my page is my sketches either composed for a spesific cause or just when I was fooling around with my instruments. As you can tell I am a one-man act.That's all for now. See you around.
