She has many famous hits such as "Gönül" (Heart), "Son Mektup" (The Last Letter), "Dayanamıyorum" (I Can't Stand It), "Dünya Tatlısı" (World Sweet), "Paşa Gönlüm" (My Great Heart), "Kıyamam", and "Ah İstanbul".

Biography

She was born in 1957 in Ankara, Turkey. Between 1978 and 1980, she worked with İstanbul Gelişim Orchestra on jazz and dance music projects. In 1980, Özer won a "Golden Album" award with her song "Gönül". In 1982, she performed "Binbir Gece" ("Thousand and one nights") concerts at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. A year later Özer performed in Olympia Hall in Paris. She released "Dayanamıyorum" in 1987 and "Dünya Tatlısı" in 1988. In 1990, Özer married Alper Önal, but they divorced a year later. She won the "Best Album" award once more with her album "İşte Ben" in 1991. Her elder sister Tülay Özer is also a singer and was famous in the 1970s and 1980s. Tülay Özer recorded her last album in 1993.

In 2000, Zerrin Özer released a best-of album titled "Bir Zerrin Özer Arşivi". She married Levent Süren in 2006, but they divorced two years later. In 2006, she published her autobiography Bir Sarışın Küçük Kız.[2] She appeared in "Orhan Gencebay ile Bir Ömür" ("A Life with Orhan Gencebay"), Orhan Gencebay's tribute album, and performed the song "Sev Dedi Gözlerim" ("My Eyes Said Love").

During an operation on her leg a scalpel was left inside her body, and later she underwent another surgery to remove the scalpel, which was unsuccessful and damaged her spinal cord. After using a wheelchair for 1.5 years, she was able to walk again following treatment.[3]

On 16 June 2019, she married Murat Akınca, who is 27 years her junior.[4] After one day, Özer filed for divorce, as Akıncı faced allegations of fraud and connection to Adnan Oktar.[5] Their divorce was finalized on 30 January 2020.[6]
