His childhood years: He became the first in the category of instrument players in the “Vodafone 14th Inter-High School Music Competition” held at Bostancı Performing Arts Center on April 2, 2011, with his drummer. He worked with many bands, he also worked as a drummer in the Pervane group, which was established with Olcayto Ahmet Tuğsuz.
Education life: He studied at the Cinema and Television Department at Okan University with 100% scholarship.
Music career: Music is his first pain, his father has a lot of influence on his turn to music. “We met Deniz (Deniz Tuzcuoğlu), the soloist of the Four X Four, in a competition, he was the jury in the Vodafone FreeZone High School Music Competition, I was a contestant, I won the first place that year. Deniz did not spare his support from me since the first day, he was very open to my ideas after the competition, I shared my thoughts with him. After the competition, we formed the band called “Pervane” and played together. Then, when Arbak (Arbak Refik Dal), the ex-drummer of Dört X Dört, could not come to the concerts due to the intensity of his work, he asked me one day, and I said, ‘Of course I will come gladly,’ we have been together with Dört X Dört for six years. I love every place that has an audience. Wherever I see the support and accompaniment of the audience, I am very happy. That’s why I don’t spare too many places. It makes me very happy to see people coming to listen to Dört X Dört. ”
How did he decide to become an actor? He chose to study in the Department of Cinema and Television when he was awarded a scholarship from Okan University. “I started acting with the encouragement of my friends and the words of an instructor there,” You should try your luck “. Everything happened in a short time and very beautiful. I hope it continues like this. I had a concert one day, and the evening of the same day, they called me to audition for the drama “Torn”. I can’t say I had the slightest excitement because I had nothing to lose. Somehow I was going to a concert in the evening and I was going to have fun. 2-3 weeks passed and they called me. They said I had a producer meeting. That day the excitement started. Because things got serious. There are big names. After meeting with the producer, the director had a meeting, and many people were talked about. As soon as everything became clear, my excitement started and never ended. It continues today. ”
The first step to acting: He started his television adventure with the character of ‘Ozan’ in the TV series ‘Broken Pieces’ and attracted attention with this project.
Personality traits: He is a little nervous, can have instant explosions, and at the same time very emotional. “My spontaneous outbursts are actually more emotional than my anger. But I’m not impulsive. I am ambitious. I don’t compromise anyone to do what I put in my head and I conclude. ”
Social: The thing you enjoy most in life is to be interested in music. “Especially hanging out with my friends in our own studio may be my favorite thing, and of course also the movie nights we organize with my friends.”
Mindset: He is happy to work with very experienced names, he tries to learn something from every experienced actor he plays. “I am someone who tries to learn something from everyone. I observe people even from where I sit because it’s something that improves acting a lot. While playing with experienced names such as Erkan Petekkaya, Nurgül Yeşilçay and Cevdat Mercan, I thought that I should make more effort to improve myself. I tried it without hesitation. ”
First motion picture: Gönenç Uyanık / Hesapta Aşk
Definition of love: “For me, love is to sit and chat over a tea and coffee, add something to each other and have a pleasant time.”
His view of business life: He thinks that television is more difficult than cinema as working conditions. “Sometimes you have to shoot 20 scenes a day in TV series, but movies also require care since they are longer in duration. The series is a bit more daily and forgotten, but since the movie is a little more like a book, everyone puts more effort on it. So the better result comes from the movies, of course. It is also very enjoyable to shoot a TV series. Also, when you get used to that pace, you cannot stay idle in your normal life. I try to give a break between my projects because I am both a musician and an actor. I have family jobs. It’s impossible for me to devote time to all of them at the same time. I have to invest both in sports and myself in this whole process. Sometimes it feels like a good thing to miss your face. Acting and music, I can work together because I love both of my passions. His tiredness remains sweet to me. ”
Career plan: He thinks he is at the very beginning of the road and wants to be in quality productions. “I am open to any project that will improve me. I’d like to play the mentally ill, schizophrenic. These roles are very important. ”
Future Dream: His biggest dream; Taking part in World War II movies like ‘Saving Private Ryan’ or ‘Furry’. As a musician, I always thought that I should act in a movie that includes being a musician. Sharing playing an instrument with people would be a very special experience for me; I played a musician character in my last movie. I can say it was a role close to my youth. ”
Who would he want to share the same scene with? The festival he wants to play the most is ‘Rock in Rio’.
Role model: The band he exemplifies in music, “Red Hot Chili Peppers” “There is a group that changed the lives of me and my friends: Red Hot Chili Peppers! All of their albums, all of their songs are very special to me but I think the most special is “Can’t Stop” track. Because when we played this song in the contest, I came first. ”
How does he keep his shape? It is present at every point of sports life, every day. Together with his dog Crash, he definitely walks for two hours in the morning and evening. “Apart from that, I regularly have fitness classes with my teachers Eray Öztatar and Çalkan Algün. Apart from that, I swim and play astroturf matches.”
How is it with social media? Although he is not very active on social media, he tries to share. “I share what I find worth sharing as much as I can. Sometimes I do 20 posts in a week, sometimes I withdraw for two months. I am not doing these on purpose, I act as I feel at that moment. I’m not an audience on this platform. For example, I opened my own dog’s page because at some point my fans are bored of seeing my dog. I make my shares from there. I think my followers understand me because they really love me. ”
Who does he admire? Study names so desires, Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ in Turkey and abroad, while Brad Pitt.
The criterion for attractiveness in women: He likes brunette and brown women. “I can’t say I don’t care about physical features. A thin silhouette impresses me. I like women who dress without exaggeration and don’t say that they are calm, cool, I’m here. Because I think a confident person will dress more simply. I don’t like exaggeration at any point in my life. I don’t like to constantly lather like that in acting. ”
Relationship with nature: He loves to be in touch with nature, and while planning a vacation, he prefers places where he can be calm and alone with nature. “I do not have an understanding of going into the sea and sunbathing. For example, I have never been to a seven-star hotel in my life. I put on my backpack, I go wherever it takes me. I am not saying I should go to Mykonos. Instead, I go to Thassos and rest. Because there are few people. I already live in Şile. I love nature, I have a house with a garden and a dog. My grandmother even planted tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers in my garden. My family always comes near me. We have a family apartment. We kiss my grandmother’s hand on holidays. Our family ties are very strong. ”
What does he do at home? He has a room in his house where he plays music. He’s also good with the kitchen and likes to cook. “While I was playing” OrphanFlowers “, I made a room for myself with what I earned from the series; I bought guitars, drums, created a mini studio. In my spare time, more precisely, I record one or two hours a day, I compose, write lyrics, riffs and sentences. I also want to make an album that is entirely mine with lyrics, composition and arrangement. I also spend time in the kitchen when I’m at home. Because I cook well. I always watch cooking shows at home. For example, there is a chef called Claudio, I have watched him cook for years. He speaks Italian, but also Turkish. ”
Which movie was he affected by? He watched the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” four times. “We have a group of four friends. Burhan, my cousin Uğur, and our dear, our friend Fırat, playing bass in four X Four. ‘We went to Bohemian Rhapsody four times. I went to Turkey premiere was even in the count of five. Historically, there are a few skips, but it gave me very good feelings to be told about a world giant band like Queen while the music was getting so bad and it became so transparent. I am very happy. It was a very good movie. ”
