About

Born in Ankara, he embarked on a mathematics education journey at Ankara University. However, his passion for music led him to take up the fretless guitar, prompting him to leave his studies citing the inability to dedicate adequate time to his musical pursuits. A significant association formed in 2011 when he met and studied with Cenk Güray on various topics, prominently Makam together. In 2012, his musical versatility expanded as he began playing the tanbur under the guidance of Murat Salim Tokaç.

Throughout his musical journey, he showcased his prowess with instruments like the bağlama, fretless guitar, tanbur, and even with his vocals at numerous concerts and projects. In 2011, he joined the Forde Folk Music Festival in Norway as part of the Talent Project, collaborating and performing alongside budding musicians from diverse backgrounds.

In a notable recognition of his talents, he secured the Achievement Award in 2016 at the Young Performers' Competition, commemorating Tanburi Cemil Bey's 100th Death Anniversary. This award, associated with the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism, given him by an esteemed jury.

From 2016 to 2018, he served as a Tanbur artist with the Ankara State Classical Turkish Music Choir of the Republic of Turkey. Concurrently, Deniz Şahin, who graduated from Gazi University's Turkish Music Conservatory Instrument Education specializing in Tanbur, took up lecturing responsibilities at the same institution during the 2016-2017 academic year.

Completing his master's in 2019, he presently advances his academic pursuits as a lecturer at Ankara Music and Fine Arts University. Simultaneously, he is writing his phd thesis and an active member of several music ensembles, showcasing his multi-faceted talents.
