Gökhan Türkmen brings together musical traditions from his homeland into an expanding universe of modern influences to create his own, ornate style of pop. The sheer confidence with which he does so is a sign that his career will thrive for decades to come. Having cut his teeth singing for Istanbul radio stations in the mid-2000s, Türkmen first garnered attention with the brooding drama and folk styles of his 2013 debut album, Büyük İnsan. He has since become a prolific artist who can skip easily from an elegant waltz (“Aşk”) to summery funk (“Deli”)—and everything in-between.
