Pupalive

Having started a musical journey together in 2011 and sharing the stage for many years, İdil Taneri and Umut Yumurtacı formed Pupalive in 2018, in Turkey. The project started as an acoustic duo - covering the songs by their favorite artists in their own way. While the duo had been meeting the audience by travelling and performing around Turkey for many years, they decided to focus on their own music in 2021. They started to work on their own pieces and record them with the contribution of their fellow musicians, and finally released their first single 'In Time' on all digital platforms in 2022. During the same year, with Deniz Uludağ (drums) and Gökçe Burak Mökükcü (bass) joining them, the band took its final form. After a short break for the renewal, Pupalive continues working on some new record material whilst giving concerts in various cities today.

Pup'a'live : Is a special word formed for the band itself. The word 'pupa' is taken for its metamorphic meaning in nature - an insect in the stage of life between immature and adult phases. A motionless creature, neither dead nor alive. Here, the pupa is kept alive by combining the words Pupa and Alive as one.
