MY STORY
 

Two full lives, one voice holding it all together

Now based in Los Angeles, I grew up in Istanbul, surrounded by a rich musical culture. I started playing piano at 6 and began singing at 12. It never felt like a choice. It felt like breathing.

For 12 years I worked as a Sales Manager at Shell, leading sales across multiple regions and countries. Fast, demanding, international work. And the whole time, I was also a musician. Performing with my band, recording albums, doing interviews.

 

A corporate by day. A jazz musician by night. Most people pick one. I needed both to feel alive.

 

Then my voice started failing me.

 

 

MY STORY
 

Two full lives, one voice holding it all together

Now based in Los Angeles, I grew up in Istanbul, surrounded by a rich musical culture. I started playing piano at 6 and began singing at 12. It never felt like a choice. It felt like breathing.

For 12 years I worked as a Sales Manager at Shell, leading sales across multiple regions and countries. Fast, demanding, international work. And the whole time, I was also a musician. Performing with my band, recording albums, doing interviews.

 

A corporate by day. A jazz musician by night. Most people pick one. I needed both to feel alive.

 

Then my voice started failing me.

 

 

THE TURNING POINT
 

When I lost my voice, I finally learned how to use it

 

After long days of back-to-back meetings, my voice would come out strained and raspy. In loud rooms, I'd lose it completely. When I sat down to sing, I could barely make it through two songs before it gave out. It was genuinely frightening.

 

The doctor told me I had developed a blister on my vocal cords from years of using my voice incorrectly, and recommended surgery. But I stopped and thought about it. If I had been using my voice wrong the whole time, removing the blister wouldn't fix anything. I would just create another one. 

 

 

 

So I turned down the surgery and decided to fix the real problem instead.

 

I took voice lessons, studied how the voice actually works, and practiced with everything I had. Then one day, it just clicked. The shift was rapid and total. Once I started using my voice correctly, the blister disappeared on its own. Permanently. No surgery. No shortcuts. Just the right technique, finally applied.

 

After that, everything opened up. I could sing with full tone and hit the right notes with ease. I could perform for hours and still feel strong. My speaking voice became something I could trust and rely on completely. It honestly changed my life.

WHY WORK WITH ME

I'm not teaching from a textbook.
I'm teaching from experience.

Because I'm a musician first, I hear things that most people miss. I pick up on what's actually happening in your voice, understand it fast, and know exactly how to help you shift it. The technical and the emotional connect in a way that makes real sense to people.

 

"Most of my students come to me thinking they just weren't born with a great voice. What I show them is that they were never taught how to use the one they already have."

 

For over 3 years now, I've been teaching people how to do the same. Singers, speakers, people who have been told their voice isn't good enough or who quietly gave up on themselves. What I see again and again is that the moment we start working together, they are genuinely surprised by what comes out of them. A voice they didn't know they had. Power they didn't think was there. And with it, a confidence that goes way beyond singing.

I'm here to help you find what I found. Your voice is more powerful than you think. Let me show you how to use it.

You already have
the voice.
You just haven't learned
to use it yet.

Most people think great singers are born, not made. I used to believe that too, until I lost my own voice and had to rebuild it from scratch. What I discovered changed everything.
