Çisem

In pursuit of her dream to become a red breasted robin, Çisem started making music when she was 7 years old. “Life is resonance. With your voice, or your dancing, or the click of a camera or a drop of watercolor at the tip of your brush; I feel like I resonate with the world quite strangely.” she told the journalist during one of her imaginary interviews in shower.
Her lyrics are about love, longing, childhood, flowers. Her inspiration may be anything that makes her soul giggle. Fascinated by the power of words, her style is poetic and symbolic. “I never reveal the story behind my lyrics, except for one time. I was drunk and wanted to look cool to a stranger.” she once confessed to a very confused subway passenger.
She has been in love with jazz since high school. “I did enjoy Pink Floyd and Rod Steward but I wanted something more!” She was later introduced to the swing era dances. Having found a new way to express and experience music, her orientation in musical performance was redefined as “a concerto of body and soul, music and movement.” Her recent projects include more avant-garde pieces along with modern renditions of jazz standards. She doesn’t like potatoes.
