Turkish singer Tarkan is one of the most famous pop music performers in the world. Despite the fact that after the beginning of his career he did not sing songs in English for a very long time, he managed to achieve great fame in all European countries. Fans of Tarkan's work, who enjoy listening to his music and enjoying great shows, will be very interested to know some facts from the biography of the star.

Brief biography and personal life of Tarkan

Turkish singer Tarkan was born in a family of hereditary Turks in 1972. At that time, the parents of the future celebrity lived in the German city of Alzey, and the reason for their move was the economic crisis in Turkey. When the boy was 13 years old, the situation improved, and the family decided to return to their historical homeland.

Immediately after moving to Turkey, the young man began to actively study music, and all the teachers noted his remarkable talent. To continue his studies at a new level, Tarkan went to Istanbul, where he entered the Istanbul Academy of Music. The aspiring singer did not have enough money to pay for his own living, so he was forced to work as a performer national music at weddings and various holidays. Although the height of the singer Tarkan is only 173 cm, he has a very attractive appearance, so he was very often invited to hold various events.

After some time, Tarkan met with Mehmet Soyutoulu, who was then in charge of the Istanbul Plak label. As a result of the joint cooperation of the producer, novice performer and composer Ozan Cholakolu in 1992, Tarkan's first album Yine Sensiz was born. It included original compositions in which national Turkish motives were guessed, as well as Western notes. Thanks to this, the songs from Tarkan's album immediately became extremely popular, especially among the younger segments of the Turkish population.

IN later career young singer developed at an extraordinary pace. All of his new albums and singles have become incredibly successful, with the exception of the English-language album Come Closer, released in 2006. Contrary to expectations, the listeners did not like Tarkan's songs in English, and sales of this album in the singer's homeland amounted to only 110 thousand copies.

Turkish singer Tarkan is very ambiguous personality. In particular, there are several unpleasant facts in the biography of a celebrity. So, in 1999, the famous singer was drafted into the Turkish, however, he did not enter the service, but preferred to stay in Europe. As a result of such actions, the star in the Turkish parliament even raised the question of depriving Tarkan of the citizenship of his country.

Meanwhile, in August 1999, in the homeland of the singer, a law was passed on the possibility of doing military service for 28 days and paying 16 thousand dollars to a charitable foundation. This is exactly what Tarkan took advantage of, going to the army for only 4 weeks.

In 2010, the singer, along with other people, was detained by the drug police. Tarkan was threatened with up to two years in prison for the use and possession of drugs, however, 3 days after the arrest, the young man was released.

Finally, for a long time there were rumors in the press that Tarkan belonged to the category of people with an unconventional. According to rumors, the Turkish singer himself has repeatedly confirmed that he is gay. Meanwhile, between 2001 and 2008, he was tied up romantic relationship with Bilge Ozturk, and in 2011 he began dating his fan Pinar Dilek.

Tarkan: biography

Tarkan Tevetoglu was born, no, not in Turkey, but in the city of Alzey in Germany in the family of Ali and Neshe Tevetoglu, on October 17, 1972. It is believed that he was named Tarkan in honor of the hero known in the 60s of the twentieth century Turkish book, and his real name is Hüsamettin.

Tarkan's parents, of course, Turks by nationality, ended up in Germany in a completely traditional way for the middle of the last century. At that time, Turkey was going through one economic crisis after another, and Germany needed a lot of foreign work force(doesn't the situation remind you of anything? :-)). I personally had a chance to observe the consequences of the policy of inviting labor from abroad to the country in Germany in 2009, and also to communicate on this issue both with the Germans and, in fact, with the local Turks. So, the family of the singer Tarkan was one of thousands of her kind. His grandfather, according to some information, was a participant in the Russian-Turkish wars of the 19th century, there were also Turkmen folk singers. The singer has a brother and sisters from the first marriage of Tarkan's mother. Tarkan's father died in 1995 and Tarkan's mother married for the third time. In general, Tarkan's biography is not easy.

Yes, there were such moments in Tarkan's biography.

Tarkan in the early 1990s

Tarkan: the first serious successes

Successes worthy of attention began with the singer in 1992. It was this year that Tarkan's debut album "Yine Sensiz" (Again without you) was released, which was warmly received in Turkey, especially by young people, who, against the background of the rather conservative and traditional Turkish music of that time, heard fashionable European notes in it, as well as familiar slang words. According to some estimates, about 1 million copies of the album were sold. Apparently, the head of the İstanbul Plak label, Mehmet Söğütoğlu, was involved in this success. Around the same time, the singer Tarkan met Ozan Çolakoğlu, a talented young composer, songwriter and producer who long years will become his business and creative partner.

Tarkan's first album looks ridiculous now, but then it was a huge success

In 1994, Tarkan's second album "Aacayipsin" (You are beautiful) was released. More than 2 million copies were bought in Turkey, and about a million more outside of it. Perhaps no one has achieved such success before the singer Tarkan.

Two songs of Tarkan's new album were written by famous Turkish pop singer and composer Sezen Aksu. The song "Hepsi Senin Mi?!", which later became a hit, and known in Europe as "Şıkıdım" was written by her.

About 20 concerts in Europe, thousands of fans in Turkey, face on the cover of Cosmopolitan Turkey, interviews for radio, TV, newspapers and magazines, Tarkan's music everywhere... Success!

There he begins preparations for his first English-language album, but for a variety of reasons these plans are put on hold despite the announcement of the album in 1995.

Then the singer Tarkan began to actively perform in Europe, and in 1997 Tarkan's third album "Ölürüm Sana" (Mad About You) and the single "Şımarık" were released, which immediately occupied the leading lines of European hit parades. 3.5 million copies in Turkey. Platinum in Mexico, gold in France, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Colombia. Did Tarkan himself expect such a success?

Unusual for Turkish singers of that time, the style sharply distinguished Tarkan from the general mass of show business

Tarkan: international recognition, successes and problems in Turkey

The end of the nineties brings Tarkan the World Music Awards, the title of "the most successful Turkish musician" according to the association of Turkish journalists and a contract with Universal Music Group, another album "Tarkan", as well as many different achievements, which once again confirmed his status as "prince Turkish pop music. Tarkan's music becomes recognizable in the world.

But in addition to success, troubles awaited the singer. In 1998, his deferment from compulsory military service in Turkey ended. In this regard, he was in no hurry to return to his homeland, but since he was already very famous person, the Turkish government became interested in this issue. The issue of depriving Tarkan of Turkish citizenship for evading military service was considered. The situation was resolved in an unexpected way. In 1999, in a city in Turkey, powerful earthquake. On this occasion, a law was passed that reduced military service to 28 days for those who would contribute an amount approximately equal to 16,000 US dollars to the earthquake victims' fund. Tarkan, of course, introduced it, and also held it in Istanbul, which also suffered from the earthquake, a charity concert, the proceeds of which were also transferred to charity. Interesting fact biographies of Tarkan - he, after all, served his 28 days as a singer.

Singer Tarkan in the 2000s

In 2001, Tarkan signs a contract and becomes the official face of Pepsi in Turkey, as well as the mascot of the Turkish football team at the 2002 World Cup, for this the singer records the song "Bir Ölürüz Yolunda", which becomes a kind of anthem for the fans.

Also, in 2001, Tarkan's long-awaited album "Karma" was released, on which the singer worked for recent years. The singles "Kuzu-Kuzu" and "Hüp" occupy the top lines of the charts. The album sells 1 million copies in Europe.

The beginning of the 2000s is called the Karma Period by Tarkan fans.

At the beginning of the 2000s, the singer Tarkan expects 2 scandals. The first is with the book "Tarkan: Anatomy of a Star" (Tarkan - Yıldız Olgusu), which is first released and then withdrawn from sale due to accusations of plagiarism according to one version, according to another because it represents the singer as gay. The second - with a video for the song "Hüp", due to the fact that some members of the Turkish public declared some scenes of the video to be pornographic and this caused a certain resonance in society. However, this clip was nominated for a Turkish music channel"Kral". Tarkan tries not to advertise this page of his biography.

In 2003, Tarkan's album "Dudu" was released, which the singer recorded on his own label "HITT Music". It sold 1 million copies in Turkey. In the same year, the singer tried himself in the production of perfumes under his own brand Tarkan.

At the beginning of the 2000s, Tarkan tried various showbiz-related businesses, for example, a perfumery

Tarkan in English

Ideas to record his English-language album visited Tarkan, apparently, back in the early nineties. But Tarkan's first album in English was released only in 2006. Despite expectations, even a tenth of the success that albums in Turkish brought to Tarkan did not expect him. The singles "Bounce" and "Start To Fire" were also coolly received by the public, despite the European tour in support of the album.

Despite all the attempts of Tarkan, his English-language projects were fundamentally less successful than Turkish ones.

Singer Tarkan sings in Turkish again

And not just singing, but releasing in 2007 the album "Metamorfoz" entirely in Turkish and fully rehabilitated in the eyes of fans around the world. In the first weeks, over 300,000 copies of the album were sold. It was the music of Tarkan that the fans loved.

Tarkan consolidates his success by releasing the Metamorfoz Remixes compilation in 2008. Also, several clips are filmed for the songs of the albums. It seems that it was then that he restored the trust of his fans and determined the direction that is most consistent with both his inner vision of creativity and the preferences of consumers. In 2010 saw the light new album Tarkan "Adımı Kalbine Yaz". And again success. Over 300 thousand copies in the first weeks. The top lines of the hit parades of Turkey. Here he is the former prince of Turkish pop music.

It seems that by the end of the 2000s, Tarkan acquired the final image of a world-class professional musician.

Tarkan: rumors, true or not?

The two most common rumors about Tarkan are that he is gay and that he is a drug addict. Naturally, both in support and in refutation of these rumors, you can find a lot of information, both similar to the truth and frankly funny. Here is something that is trustworthy.

In addition to the fact that on many talk shows, singer Tarkan personally denied all accusations of non-traditional sexual orientation, for about seven years he did not hide his relationship with Bilge Ozturk (Bilge Öztürk), with whom they broke up in 2008. After that, the singer did not advertise his relationship with anyone, saying that he was free.

There are also many rumors regarding the use of drugs by the famous singer. But the fact, again, is only that in 2010, during a large-scale operation of the Istanbul police, Tarkan and several more famous figures Turkish show business were detained in Istanbul at a private villa on charges of drug use and possession. A few days later, Tarkan was released. Whether this was an accident and a mistake by the police, most likely, we will never know, but this will be recorded forever in Tarkan's biography.

In 2010, all the newspapers were full of news about the drug scandal involving Tarkan, everything ended in nothing

Tarkan and Russia

In 1998, when Tarkan was already quite famous in Russia and throughout the CIS, popular at that time, Russian singer Philip Kirkorov, suddenly releases the album “Oh, mother, chic ladies!”, The main motive of which is the melody of Tarkan's song “Sıkıdım”. This happened due to the fact that the author of this song Sezen Aksu and Tarkan broke business relationship and Sezen started selling the rights to her songs various performers including Philip.

I would like to specially note Russian awards Tarkan. "Song of the Year" in Russia was recognized as "Dudu". Also for this song, he received the "100 pood hit" award from the Russian radio station Hit FM in the form of a weight. Tarkan's music has been played live from the stage in Russia more than once.

Biography

Childhood

Tarkan was born in Alzey, Germany, to Ali and Neshe Tevetolu. He was named after the hero of a humorous book that was popular in Turkey in the 60s. In 2009, it was proved that Tarkan is his middle name, and the first is Hyusametin (tur. H?samettin), which translates as "sharp sword."

His parents, who are Turkish by nationality, immigrated to East Germany after the economic crisis in the country. On the father's side, Tarkan's ancestors are military, for example, his grandfather is a hero Russian-Turkish war, and on the mother's side - Turkmen folk singers. Tarkan has a brother and sisters - Adnan, Gyulai and Nurai, from his mother's first marriage. And brother Hakan and younger sister Handan.

Tarkan's mother married an architect for the third time - Seyhun Kahraman.

The beginning of a musical career

After Tarkan's family moved to Turkey, he began to study music in the city of Karamyursel before going to study at the Istanbul Academy of Music. In Istanbul, he had no acquaintances and money, and he had to earn extra money as a singer at weddings. During one of his visits to Germany, Tarkan met the head of the label "?stanbul Plak" Mehmet Soyutoulu. He subsequently produced Tarkan's debut album, Yine Sensiz, which was released in 1992. During the recording of the album, Tarkan met an almost unknown composer then - Ozan Cholakolu, with whom he still works today. The album was successful among Turkish youth, because Tarkan brought Western notes to traditional Turkish music.

“Most likely this happened for the first time - Turkish slang began to be actively used in the lyrics of the brave guy with green eyes"- this is how the Turkish magazine Milliyet described Tarkan's debut album.

In 1994, the second album "Aacayipsin" was released. At the same time, Tarkan began working with composer Sezen Aksu, who wrote two songs for the album, including "Hepsi Senin Mi?", which later resulted in the European single "??k?d?m". In the same year, Tarkan went to the USA to continue his studies in New York and learn English. A video for the song "D?n Bebe?im" was also filmed there. In America, Tarkan met Ahmet Ertegan, who was the founder of the American label Atlantic Records and wanted to start producing Tarkan's English songs. But Tarkan's first English-language album was released after Akhmet's death, in 2006.

Success in Europe

In 1997, Tarkan released the third album "?l?r?m Sana", and in parallel the single "??mar?k", which was successful in Turkey.

In the same year, Tarkan received the World Music Awards for album sales. After the single "Bu Gece" was released.

In 2000, Tarkan quarreled with Sezen Aksu, who wrote the songs "??k?d?m" and "??mar?k". After the termination of the contract, Sezen began to sell copyrights different performers who did covers of these songs. For example, Holly Valance as "Kiss Kiss", and Philip Kirkorov as "Oh, Mama Shika Dam."

In 1999, Tarkan was drafted into the army, from which he had a deferment from 1995, which ended back in 1998. Due to the fact that he was drafted into the army, he did not return to Turkey after he released the Tarkan compilation in Europe. This aroused great interest in the press, and the Turkish Parliament also discussed the possible deprivation of Tarkan Turkish citizenship. After the Izmit earthquake at the end of August 1999, a law was passed on a 28-day military service, provided that the future soldier will pay 16 thousand dollars to the earthquake relief fund. Taking advantage of this, Tarkan returned to Turkey in 2000 and completed 28 days of military service. Before leaving for the army, Tarkan gave a concert upon his return to Istanbul, the money from which also went to charity. Tarkan said about his military service - “It was January and wild snowfall. It was difficult, the food was terrible. Eighteen months of my life for nothing. I think my dreams are more important."
