About Me

I was born in Istanbul in 1988. In the early 2000s, my family decided to move to Antalya, where I spent my high school years. Later, I returned to Istanbul to pursue a career in music. Growing up, my father playing guitar at home and introducing me to classic rock albums played a big role in shaping my path toward becoming a musician. I started playing drums in high school and set my sights on improving myself in this field over time.
In 2009, I completed the Drum Department Certificate Program at the Modern Music Academy and received my Master Instructor diploma, officially stepping into the professional world. Since then, I've performed on stage with many orchestras in various styles, played in studio recordings, and taught hundreds of students who wanted to learn drums—both privately and in various schools and courses. I continue to perform actively, mainly in Antalya and Istanbul, and as I enter my 18th year in the profession, I carry on with the same passion I had on day one.

Alongside my role as an educator, I offer private drum lessons. If you're a musician, I can play on your tracks, contribute drum recordings, or join you for studio and live performances — whether as a steady band member or a session drummer.
