I first started to make music (at the age of 15) by borrowing my friend's guitar. Then I worked at a candy store to make money to buy my own guitar, which I did at the end of 6 months, and immediately quit that job :)

With my new guitar, I practiced and learned by accompanying the songs on the radio. After a while, playing alone started to become boring, and I found joy in sharing the music I played; so a friend of mine joined me. We, then started playing on summer evenings/nights at a summer place and started earning money, which was very incredible since I was being paid for something I really enjoyed doing. 

Playing with a partner is good but being a part a band is better, or so I thought at the time; and I joined a band as an electro-guitar player. However, soon right after I realised that making music is a lot easier and more pleasant if you are not among a group of people with "big egos", and I left the band.

My family moved to another city right around that time; so I moved with them; and I started another band as a bass player this time. We called ourselves Popcorn; which was then changed to Kres. We started making our own music and started playing at bars and nightclubs. One day, we came across a competition called Jack Daniels Rock Music Competition for new bands like us. We gave it a shot with our own song "Zaman Yok" and won 1st place. Following which, we had 4 demos and 2 albums (namely Zaman Yok and Kres Ciplak), played at a number of festivals in Turkey (including Rock'n Coke, Masstival, Radar Live, Rock Istanbul, etc). 

Although I played rock, I was always in awe with electronic music from the moment I was introduced to it at the end of 90's. So, quite recently I got myself a new setup, and now I am experimenting with it. Mostly playing music that moves me.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
