I grew up in Turkey with a Turkish father and an American mother. I've been playing guitar since I was 11 and Oud since I was 14. I grew up listening to many traditional and modern types of both Turkish and Western music.

I play Oud and Guitar. On oud I play traditional music from Turkey and surrounding regions. On guitar I play my own original compositions that use classical/fingerpicking technique and mix eastern and western music. I released my first album of original guitar music called "Rüya" on Spotify in 2019 and I'm currently working on an Oud album.
