Melike Şahin

An unconventional, modern pop icon, Melike Şahin reimagines the present with a nod to Turkish psychedelia from the 1960s and 1970s. Euphoric guitars and organs blend with her contemporary singing on her debut album Merhem, a huge success in Turkey. She herself calls her style ‘Mediterranean Arabesque’, or a mix of Anatolian pop with all kinds of Middle Eastern styles.

With her single Diva Yorgan, Melike Şahin scored a big hit in her home country last summer; the song has been viewed over a hundred million times on YouTube. High time for the singer to conquer Europe. She has already proven that she can do this: as the frontwoman of the cult band BaBa ZuLa, she played all the major European festivals.
