Cihan Bilgin whose real name is Taha Cihan Saldıraner, was born in Kadikoy in 1989. In 2013, he began releasing acoustic guitar-based songs featuring his own lyrics and music.

That same year, he also released the singles ‘Neyse Ne’ and ‘Karadelik,’ produced by Ömer Çelik (Soft Analog) and Kerkayas, respectively. He independently released the singles ‘Televizyon’ in 2022 and ‘Gerçek’ in 2023. When 2024 arrived, he released his first EP titled ‘Ansızın’ with the label Shalgam Records.

In today's world where people are lost in consumerism, Cihan Bilgin aims to bring his unique sound-shaped by the collision of indie, blues, and electronic music-to the independent music audience, accompanied by meaningful lyrics, simple rhythms, and repetitive guitar solos.
