Ozan Doğulu

Ozan Doğulu is a Turkish DJ, piano player, producer, and solo artist. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, on January 13, 1972, he was raised in a musical family whose members included his brother, platinum-selling pop singer Kenan Doğulu, and his father, Turkish composer Yurdaer Doğulu. Ozan Doğulu quickly joined the family business, learning guitar and piano as a child and initially working as an orchestra conductor for the long-running vocalist Sezen Aksu. He also worked as a sideman, notably playing piano for classical musician Zeki Müren. Working as a local DJ, he began earning his own audience with his so-called "Ozan Doğulu Live Project," then made his full-length debut with the album 130 Bpm in 2010. Sezen Aksu appeared on the album, as did brother Kenan Doğulu and fellow Turkish stars Sıla, Ajda Pekkan, and Ferhat Göçer. That collaborative spirit continued to be part of Ozan Doğulu's work as he released multiple albums throughout the 2010s, including 2011's 130 Bpm Allegro, 2014's 130 Bpm Moderator, and 2019's 130 Bpm Kreşendo. Each album featured stars from Doğulu's homeland, from the rock band Model (which appeared on his 2012 single "Dağılmak İstiyorum") to the pop singer Ziynet Sali (who sang on 2016's "Yağmur"). The hits continued during the 2020s, with the song "Kulüp" (featuring Demet Akalın) reaching Number 57 on the Top 100: Turquie chart.
