Everything about Zlem Tekin totally explained
Özlem Tekin (born
November 18 1971) is a
Turkish American singer, TV show host and occasional actress, primarily known for her music. Though she started out in the
hard rock genre, her music has progressed to incorporate different styles such as
house,
punk, and
Turkish folk music.
Life and career
Özlem Tekin was born in
California,
United States into a Turkish-American family. Her father Talat Tekin was a prominent
Turkologist at
UC Berkeley. The Tekins moved to
Turkey when she was four years old. Özlem grew up in
Ankara, where she went on to study classical western music at the
Hacettepe University Music Conservatory in
Ankara, specializing in the
clarinet.
She started out as the vocalist in
The Bad. The Bad was an underground rock band like most other rock bands and they'd perform gigs at clubs, often playing covers of other popular bands. In
1993, she met
Şebnem Ferah, who has now also become another recognized rock musician in Turkey, and became the keyboard player of the successful all-female rock band
Volvox. Özlem occasionally performed as the lead singer as well.
While still in Volvox, she met
Hakan Peker and they started working on her debut solo album in
1994. This album,
Kime Ne (literally,
who cares?), was eventually released in January
1996 to widespread critical acclaim. The first single
Aşk Herşeyi Affeder Mi? (Does love forgive everything?) shot to the top of the charts. Other hit tracks include
Duvaksız Gelin (Bride without a veil) and
Herkes Şanslı Doğmuyor (Not everyone is born lucky).
Then, Özlem Tekin left Hakan Peker's record label and went to
İstanbul Plak which also had acquired other popular singers like
Tarkan. Her second album
Öz was released in February
1998. This spawned
Yol which became an enormous hit.
Laubali came out a year later to great success.
Özlem started up her own TV show on
Kanal D called
Yaz Rüzgarı (Summer Wind) in
2000. This aired for 1 hour, 5 days a week and received high ratings. In year 2003 she started acting in the TV series "Sil Baştan" (From the Beginning). This show aired for 2 years, also with high ratings.
In
2005, she starred in the stage musical "Mucizeler Komedisi" (The Comedy of Miracles). That very year, her new album "10987654321" was released, which presented a much harder sound than her previous effort.
In
2006 she played in the
Cem Yılmaz movie "Hokkabaz" (The Trickster).
In the same year,she also played in the tv movie "Maçolar".
After this experiment,she met with a nice surprise which is a forest for her,owing to her tenth year in music sector.After a long preparation,the forest was completed and named as "Özlem Tekin-Bahar Ormanı (Özlem Tekin-Spring Forest)" by her fans.

In
2008,she started a new TV programme in one of the most famous national music channel in Turkey,Kral Tv.The programme's name is "Hiperaktif" (means a person that can not stand without any reactions) because of Özlem's character.Özlem is fully suitable for the programme format in her second TV announcer experience after "Yaz Rüzgarı".
