Emre was born in the beautiful meditterenean island - Cyprus. His first encounter with musical instruments was when he was 8 years old (1987). He was constantly experimenting with the old piano in his house. Soon, (a wise decision) of his family, he started taking classical guitar lessons and piano lessons which would lead into a long and neverending journey of music..Emre has never "stuck" in a genre..always experimenting and being influenced by all genres especially the harsh and squared sound of rock, expressiveness of jazz, smooth newage, hooky pop and...all good musicians he has ever heard on this planet (and some other unbeleiveable musicians who must be from outer planets!..)"I am not afraid of changing genres, one year I am into rock, next year, pop, then soundtracks or jazz..Music is not a tool or an aim for me, I just "HAVE" to make music..its beyond my control.."
