Neslihan

Neslihan (born September 26, 1983, in Malatya, Turkey) is a Turkish pop music singer, songwriter, and composer. She has been called the Céline Dion of Turkey, and composer Atilla Özdemiroğlu likened her to a modern-day bard. Her songs are known for their ability to express common people's troubles, and Neslihan has stated that her goal is to help humanity through her music.

Biography Neslihan was born in Malatya, Turkey, in 1983. When she was in second grade, her family moved to Mersin, Turkey, a city whose vibrant musical culture she credits with deepening her interest in music, particularly the guitar.

Neslihan started writing lyrics for her songs when she was in middle school. She composed her first song when she was 14 years old. In high school, she sold her university exam preparation books in order to buy her first guitar.

Neslihan's first album, Karalarda Beyazlar ["Whites in Blacks"], was released in April 2006 by Arma Müzik, and it was produced by Ömer Aydın. While composing the songs for this album, Neslihan worked by candlelight in her music studio because that atmosphere inspired her.

Neslihan also hosted music-related radio programs for five years: three years on Dünya Radyo, one year on the Turkish national radio channel TRT FM, and one year on Radyo 7.

Neslihan is known for spontaneously writing and performing songs based on one-word prompts from audience members during live performances. She says she values her listeners' feedback and tries to incorporate their suggestions into later songs and music videos.

Neslihan has been influenced by listening to Barış Manço, Leman Sam, Sezen Aksu, Zeki Müren, and Belkıs Özener, as well as Göksel Baktagir and Müzeyyen Senar.
