Musician, Meya Music
I was born and grew up in Turkey. When I was 13 years old, I started to take guitar lessons and then started to study classical music in fine arts high school by adding other instruments such as piano and violin. After I graduated from music college, I started to travel worldwide. During this term, for a while, I settled down in Buenos Aires to improve my language skill and tango. Also, I had an opportunity to take singing classes and meet with musicians for my project.
