Summing it up to a simple ‘impressive’ is an understatement for the leading dance music export of Turkey. Born June 18, 1992, Turkish DJ/Producer Faruk Sabanci is positively one of the most promising young acts representing the next generation. Spending his early years studying Piano and composition, Faruk drew his attention to Electronic Dance Music of the late nineties and early noughties of which had him instantly hooked, predominantly during the explosion of the genre worldwide! 

Growing up and becoming increasingly obsessed with Electronic Dance Music, Faruk's trial and error, self-taught method got him his first record deal at the tender age of 16 that lit the fuse to the beginning of an exciting journey. Being one of the first to notice the potential at hand was Armin van Buuren, who on air quoted ‘Faruk Sabanci is Turkey’s leading producer and a producer I admire greatly’ while another legend, Tiesto mentioned ‘he’s one of the youngest talents out there’ as Faruk joined Tiesto’s Club Life World Tour making his debut mainstage show as an 18 year-old.

The journey progressed rapidly while Faruk Sabanci productions frequently appeared in the sets of other influential artists such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, Hardwell and many others whom made clear this youngster is well on his way. Gearing in tune after tune pleasing A-listers and his fans alike, Faruk collaborated with exciting artists and experimented with new styles keeping in mind none other than this signature quote; ‘sky is not the limit; the only thing limiting you, is yourself.’ 

The well received productions shortly lead to making appearances in some of the largest festivals around the globe turning the upcoming artist into a household name in the scene. Bearing the weight of being the first Turkish DJ/Producer to break internationally paving the way for others and becoming the face of Electronic Dance Music in one of the largest countries in Europe pushed this individual into taking the next step, kicking off the next chapter in his sound as he drifts and shifts into further depth for what is to be an exciting new beginning. 

So much for the story of a boy following his dreams, it’s about time to let the music do the talking…
