I was born in 82', in Ankara. Attended to regular schools and stuff. Have a degree on Accounting Information Systems from University of Bilkent, and the profession was, is and will probably be boring for me as ever, so I decided to follow an alternative career.

I was always into music, a side effect of being the son of two very talented people I have ever known, in means of every aspect of life. Had my first guitar, which was a broken classical thingy, at the age of 5. Lingered with it and with various other instruments on an amateur level till the age of 17. After that, I started playing drums and guitar in bands. Most important one was (and still being active - is) Dreamtone ( www.dreamtone.net ). After some works with those instruments, I decided to work on vocals and became a singer, which turned out to be my main stage profession. I am now the singer of Dreamtone and it's side project, Neverland. Near to those, I have a new band lingering around that I will soon announce. It is a pop-rock thingy. These hold a huge part of my life.

With Dreamtone and Neverland, I had the chance to work with famous idols of metal music scene such as Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Jon Oliva (Savatage, Trans Siberian Orchestra), Edu Falaschi (Angra), Tom Englund (Evergrey), Urban breed (Tad Morose), Mike Baker - R.I.P. (Shadow Gallery), Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery) and more.

I have education over classical singing, composition and various instruments. Though I usually hate following scripted rules, especially the singing education was an essential part of my musical journey, which lasted for 5 years or so.

I started working on my compositions back in high school. Wrote many many songs. Some were terrible I guess, when I think of them now but mainly, it turned out to be my main profession as a music person. Singing is the thing that I seemd to be doing as the main thing on stage and at the studio but I see myself as a composer first. I have been composing for Neverland, Dreamtone and solely for fun for years now and back in 2009, I decided to merge this passion of mine with computer games, since I am a gaming addict. I always wanted to write music for games. I finally had the courage and knowledge to do that, as well as the rig, and started working on projects.

Back in 2009, I started working on music soundtracks for mod communities and with some luck, I started to get involved in indie development projects within months. I am happy that people like what I am doing and I am planning to continue working with music soundtracks for the rest of my life.

Near to being a musician, I worked with various music magazines of Turkey in between 1999 and 2008, most important one for me as well as having a huge impact on my development in music and perspective was Zor Magazine. Great memories...

I also own a graphical design company with my Dreamtone mate Emrecan Sevdin and work on various design stuff, mostly with construction companies.
