About Me

CURRENT MISSION

spreading my music

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician/architect from Istanbul! I've finally finished my architecture studies and now, I'm following my dream in the Netherlands/Groningen, studying jazz piano.

I'm a person deeply motivated by creativity. I've always enjoyed looking for "smart details" hidden in life. I have utmost respect especially for people struggling to create something bigger than themselves.

I've chosen music to express myself above architecture as music is instantanious and more personal. Though I can really say my architectural education is helping me through this new process.

Now all I need is to share what I'm about to create.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's what you make it.
