Her unique voice infuses traditional Kurdish folk music with the contemporary sensibility of Western music. She is one of the best sellers with her albums among Kurdish folk albums. Her albums are praised not just in Turkish media but also in international media. She appeared as cover issue of numerous important world music magazines such as Songlines,fRoots,The London Times and Sons.
