Asli Demirer

Aslı Demirer is a Turkish singer who released her debut album 'Saat Oniki' in 2003. The title track from that album became her breakout single, a ballad that mixes pop with Turkish folk and classical elements. She plays bağlama and is joined by musicians including Barış Erduman on guitar and bass, Canberk Ergün on drums, Erhan Okur on keyboards, and Erdem Yılmaz on ney.

Born in Istanbul in 1976, she grew up performing at local gatherings and festivals, drawing from Turkish folk traditions. Her approach to blending styles sometimes drew criticism from more conservative corners of the industry, but she continued releasing albums like 'Başka' in 2005, 'Üç' in 2008, 'Zamansız Şarkılar' in 2011, and 'Aşkınla Mavile' in 2014.
