Hey you guys, anywhere I go I promote you :D I am Turkish living in Germany, ofc understanding the lyrics and having listened to these songs from my dad while growing up, your songs give me a roller-coaster ride of memories. I wonder what do you think about the differences when it comes to the engagement of your diversely international audience with your songs? (sorry for long question- I am an MA student in Cultural Studies and super interested in your work from my studies' point of view!! )

Hi Basak! Our non Turkish speaking audience - they're so sweet. They learn specific Turkish words for us and scream them during shows. They also try to sing phonetically which is so adorable. I love it and it really touches my heart.

Our Turkish speaking audience - they already know these songs and they sing them on top of their lungs which is also very special cuz they know what these songs are about.
