Mustafa Ceceli

Turkish singer Mustafa Ceceli was born November 2, 1980, in Ankara, Turkey. Though he studied veterinary medicine and Management and a young man, he shifted his focus to music after striking up a friendship with record maker Ozan Doğulu. His self-titled 2009 debut LP connected immediately with audiences as well as the Turkish music industry and it garnered him the Best Album award at the 2010 Turkey Music Awards. It contained his first two number 1 singles, “Limon Çiçekleri" and "Hastalıkta Sağlıkta". The title track of 2012’s Es returned him to the top of the Turkish singles chart. 2014’s Kalpten gave him his tenth top 10 single with “Ille De Ask”. That album also led to him garnering the 2014 Turkey Music Award for Best Male Artist. He returned to number 1 with “Bedel” in 2019 and hit the top 5 again in 2021 with “Rüzgar”. In addition to his successful singing career, he has appeared as a judge on multiple singing competition shows in his home country.
