I was born in Malatya, the city of apricots. My music life started when I was in primary school. My primary school teacher taught me my first music lessons. Later I took music courses in Public Teaching Houses. Before my military service, I recorded 4 single plays when I was 16-17 years old.

After the military service, I got a job in a bank as an officer. While working in the bank, about 6 year, I was practicing Turkish Folk Music as a hobby.

One day, I have joined to Ankara Radio eliminations for Turkish Folk Music Performers and finally passed and joined the radio artists. I have worked in radio and television programs as a Turkish Folk Music Performer.

Year 1982, My first professional performance on the stage, since than I recorded 22 albums and take place in 9 movies.

Now I am still performing Turkish Folk Music as an artist of Turkish Ministry of Culture.

I am married and proud of my wife, my two daughters and my son.

I hope you will like our traditional music and enjoy your stay in our country.

Please accept my best wishes.
