I got married to my beautiful wife in 1995, which I fell in love with at a ladies baby shower party. My son Serkan is now 15, daughter Ceyda is 12 and the last one that was unplanned after 8 yrs is Sena which is now 4. It wasn't planned, but it was the best thing that ever happened. She was the Golden Egg that changed our lives as a family. My son and daughter were like parents to the baby. I thank God for my beautiful family and hope that we can continue to live a healthy life together. My passion for Music has never left me. My dreams were to have a music album that I composed and produced. I thank God for that as well. It's amazing how you run into people that you could use their help with at the right time. Believe me I didn't intend to meat some of the special people I ran into. It changed the project brief many times. The key to it all is to have a lot of patience and think today what you want like if you already have it. Meanwhile don't forget to be with God, which will guide you without knowing to your dreams.
