From ambulances to artist management — that career pivot tells you most of what you need to know about me. I'm someone who steps out of comfort zones, chases dreams, and doesn't take no for an answer. I'm a music manager and A&R based in Istanbul, working with some of Turkey's biggest rap artists. Beyond music, I'm obsessed with football, food (I'll travel miles for a great meal), stand-up comedy, and genuine conversations — I take humor seriously, which is probably the most serious thing about me. I've traveled across Europe and Central Asia, and this June I'm making my first trip to the US — LA and San Francisco for the World Cup and to connect with the music and tech world. 80% extrovert. What I feel shows on my face. You'll always know where you stand with me. My Philosophy: Life is too short to stay in the lane you were born into — or to spend it with people who don't make you laugh. I went from saving lives on the streets as a paramedic to building careers in music — not because it made sense on paper, but because it felt true. That's the only compass I trust. I believe the best things happen when you say yes before you're ready. New cities, new people, new industries — discomfort is just growth in disguise. Food brings strangers together faster than anything. A great meal is never just a meal.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
Because the best travel stories don't come from hotels. I want to see cities through the eyes of people who actually live there — not through a tourist map.
Música, Filmes e Livros
Music: Anything with a story. Movies: Inception, Lord of the Rings, good stand-up specials. Always looking for recommendations.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I can talk for hours about the music industry, artist management, and how to build something from zero. In return, teach me about your city, your scene, your favorite spot to eat.
O Que Posso Oferecer aos Hosts
Good energy, honest conversation, and probably a recommendation for a great artist you've never heard of.
