My musical journey began in my hometown of Ankara, Turkey, where I joined a children’s choir (TRT) and later took private piano lessons during high school. During these formative years, I began composing my first classical piano pieces and orchestral arrangements, planting the seeds for my future career as a composer. While studying architecture at Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ), I was already actively playing keyboards in various funk, soul, and rock bands. After briefly working as an architect, I decided to pursue music full-time, remaining in Ankara for several years where I developed my skills and created tutorial videos that would later gain international attention.

I then moved to Istanbul for 9 years, where I served as a keyboardist and music director for prominent Turkish artists including Kenan Dogulu, Ozan Dogulu, Bora Uzer, Sibel Tüzün and Ajda Pekkan. During this period, I gained international recognition among keyboardists for my innovative keyboard techniques and programming skills. My work has been praised by industry veterans including Steve Porcaro (TOTO, Michael Jackson), Michael Bearden (Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga), and David Rosenthal (Billy Joel, Rainbow), with the prestigious Keyboard Magazine highlighting my distinctive tutorial videos.

My tutorial videos featured innovative graphics, 3D animations, and stunning performances, reflecting my architectural background with visual cues that translate sonic changes into exceptional visual art. In recognition of my expertise in the field, Bilkent University‘s Department of Architecture invited me to deliver an inspirational lecture on ‘Music and Architecture‘.

In recent years, I have transitioned to freelance composition and production. My portfolio includes custom music for animations, commercials, music libraries, apps, and artist collaborations. My production style merges orchestral, electronic, funk, rock, and a wide range of cultural influences. I aim to bring a unique perspective to each project, with particular strengths in emotional storytelling through sound.

Under my brand UEsound, I create sound packs that are used by keyboardists worldwide in live performances. These sound packs have garnered recognition in the Korg Kronos community for my unique approach to creating rich, dynamic soundscapes.

Beyond music, I maintain diverse creative interests. I founded the METU Juggling Club and organized 3 international juggling conventions featuring talented jugglers from around the globe. My “3D Experiments” video series showcases immersive 3D animations that respond to musical performance. My passion for coding and electronics has led to innovative music hardware prototypes, including entries in the MIDI Innovation Awards in 2022 and 2023 with designs such as the BC-01 (Breath controller) and GigWiz (MIDI controller).

Now based in France, I remain dedicated to exploring new musical territories, continuously pushing creative boundaries through my multi-disciplinary approach to art, creativity and technology.
