I was born on July 10, Istanbul / Üsküdar

 I spent my childhood and youth years in Üsküdar.

 After Üsküdar Paşakapısı Primary School, Haydarpaşa High School and

Anadolu University Faculty of Economics I completed my undergraduate education.

With the contributions of Mr. Cemal Kalyoncu,

our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to Mr.

I tried to present a Ney concert.

Thank youso much.

 

 When I was in the third year of Haydarpaşa High School,

my favorite Guidance Teacher Fatma Oğuz put us through a 120-question test

so that we could make the right choice in the University Selection Exams.

These test questions were prepared by Cambridge University at the time.

The result I got from the exam surprised me.

While there was almost no musician in my family,

even among relatives, our musical talent was 80%. 10% was foreign language and others.
