Özlem Tekin

Özlem Tekin (born November 18, 1971) is a Turkish-American singer and occasional actress, primarily known for her music. Though she started out in the hard rock genre, her music has progressed to incorporate different styles such as house, punk, pop and Turkish folk music.

Life and career Özlem Tekin was born in California, United States into a Turkish-American family. Her father Talat Tekin was a prominent Turkologist and an Altaicist at UC Berkeley. The Tekins moved to Turkey when she was four years old. Özlem grew up in Ankara, where she studied classical western music at the Hacettepe University Music Conservatory in Ankara, specializing in the clarinet.

She started out as the vocalist of The Bad. The Bad was an underground rock band that, like many others at the time, frequently played club gigs covering popular songs. In 1993, she met Şebnem Ferah --who later became another famous rock musician in Turkey-- and joined the successful all-female rock band Volvox. This spawned "Yol" which became an enormous hit.

Laubali came out a year later to great acclaim.

Özlem started up her own TV show on Kanal D called Yaz Rüzgarı (Summer Wind) in 2000. This aired for 1 hour, 5 days a week and received high ratings. In 2003 she started acting in the TV series Sil Baştan (From the Beginning). This show aired for 2 years, also with high ratings.

In 2005, she starred in the stage musical Mucizeler Komedisi (The Comedy of Miracles). That same year, her new album 10987654321 was released, which presented a much harder sound than her previous efforts.

In 2006, she co-starred with Cem Yılmaz in the movie Hokkabaz (The Trickster).
