Career

edit

VEYasin produced his first album at 18 and has produced many more inside and outside Turkey.[6] In this project he recreates and remixes 1970s psychedelic, funk and soul songs from Anatolia and other Turkish regions.

1970s popular music of Turkey fused East and West. Rock and pop groups combined Eastern and Western instruments for the first time. VEYasin discovered this "old hip music" and "polishes with today's technology".[7]

A YouTube channel is one outlet for his tracks, with plays surpassing 3.9 million for one track, Ölem Ben (February 2022).[8]

Other projects include Mode XL, with some of those tracks attracting over 7.7 million YouTube views (February 2019).[9]

Popular tracks include "Duruyor Dünya", featuring Göksel.
