Description
Tarkan is a world-renowned Turkish pop singer, songwriter, and producer. He is one of the few artists to achieve colossal success in Europe and America while performing primarily in his native language. He has sold over 15 million albums.
The musician's career began on October 17, 1972, in Alzey, Germany, to Turkish immigrant parents. In 1986, the family returned to Turkey, where Tarkan continued his musical education, studying classical Turkish music. His debut album, "Yine Sensiz," released in 1992, instantly made him a star in Turkey. However, his international fame came in the late 1990s with the release of his hit "Şımarık," known to many as "Kiss Kiss." Other iconic songs by the artist include the energetic "Şıkıdım," the lyrical "Kuzu Kuzu," "Dudu," and "Hüp." He has received numerous awards throughout his career, including the prestigious World Music Award for best-selling artist in the Middle East. In the mid-2010s, he unexpectedly retired from performing, but continued to release new albums.
