Hello fellows! My name is Eylul (it's Eylül but who cares right?) and it means "September" in Turkish, yeah don't ask me, ask my parents!:) I was born in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, in a small nuclear family.My favorite things are; my cat(Irma),singing jazz,blues and R&B,long walks, spring season, golden color, all sorts of animals, improvisation dancing, wine, cycling, seeing happy children,dreaming,sleeping, wathching stars, getting to know new people, someking cigarettes sometimes, dressing what I want, my family, art,but most of all listening to music and making music... I grew up with classical music. I have more than 10 professional musicians in my family; opera singers and instrumentalists..So maybe you can understand why music is my biggest passion..
Sometimes I sit and think to myself all the violence, evilness, wars and all innocent people who dies for nothing on this miserable world..And all of these thoughts makes me wanna cry but then.. I imagine my mother's singing a song in the kitchen and my brother is practicing Mozart Violin Concerto with his magical fingers .. even just a single melody but music, always music and art gives me the desire, hope and passion to live.. I wake up and say myself to this, "I wanna make difference on this planet with art!And we still have a lot of ways to go so come on!Get up girl!".. Everbody wants to be something, and everybody wants to change the world I know that but to me happiness is the real difference! So let's be happy..:)

PHILOSOPHY
* Love yourself no matter what
* Live like there is no tomorrow
