Here’s a synopsis for you guys so you know what you’ll be hearing from me, hosted in english and turkish:

I’m a mix and so are you! Trying to connect all the varied streams of my work and life I will

- mix up the songs and people I came across along the way, each with their little stories

- add new and fresh stuff from Istanbul you might have not come across yet, as well as some folk and rock history from turkey you most likely haven heard yet to represent my turkish half

- stir in my german roots

- and add the influences that fueled my writing from America over the ocean to the wonderful shores of Great Britain and it’s great music, that makes is so easy to wanna live where we broadcast from, beautiful London town!

To be serve Tuesdays! 4-5pm.
