Coming from the vibrant city of Istanbul, Turkey, and currently living in beautiful Ghent, whose rich culture has deeply influenced my life and identity. My passion for cooking connects me to different cultures through their cuisines, while my intellectual interests in politics, philosophy, literature, cinema, and series allow me to explore the depth of human thought and creativity.

Professionally, I’ve worked as a Turkish Language and Literature professor, dedicated to preserving the linguistic and literary heritage of my homeland. Recently, I began teaching special children with learning difficulties,an experience that has given my work new meaning and human depth.

Beyond education, I create electronic music that blends Eastern and Turkish samples with Western styles such as Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Acid, and Rave a fusion of culture and rhythm that reflects my East-meets-West background.

In my personal life, my cat is my constant companion, bringing warmth and balance to my days.

Overall, my journey is one of curiosity, creativity, and compassion rooted in culture, expressed through sound, and guided by a love for learning and connection.
