Kalben Aykut, who performs as Kalben, is a Turkish singer-songwriter from Istanbul. She started writing songs at 14, drawing from Turkish folk, rock, and jazz influences she heard growing up in a musical family.
Her debut single 'Ben Her Zaman Sana Aşıktım' came out in 2015 and caught attention with its personal lyrics. She followed it with songs like 'Sadece' and 'Saçlar', and an album called 'Kalp Hanesi' in 2017.
She works mostly solo but brings in other musicians for recordings and live shows. Her performances tend to be intimate, with a direct connection to the crowd.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
