Gülşen Bayraktar (pronounced [ɟylˈʃen bajɾakˈtaɾ]; born 29 May 1976) is a Turkish singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Istanbul, she graduated from Şehremini High School. After finishing high school, Gülşen enrolled in Istanbul Technical University and at the same time began performing at bars and later left the university. In 1995, while performing at a bar she was discovered by a composer and made a contract with Raks Müzik for making her first studio album.

Gülşen's debut album titled Be Adam, was released in 1996 which made her known in the music industry but she preferred to take a break from her professional career and instead focused on her marital life. In 2004, her fourth studio album Of... Of... became a hit in Turkey and a single with the same name as the album earned her both a Golden Butterfly Award and a Turkey Music Award. The Mü-Yap certified album Yurtta Aşk Cihanda Aşk (2006) and her subsequent albums had successful sales, and Beni Durdursan mı? (2013) became Turkey's best-selling album of the year, followed by Bangır Bangır (2015) which became the second best-selling album of 2015. The singles "Yurtta Aşk Cihanda Aşk", "Bi' An Gel", "Yeni Biri", "Sözde Ayrılık", "Yatcaz Kalkcaz Ordayım", "Kardan Adam", "İltimas" and "Bangır Bangır" all became number-one hits on Türkçe Top 20.

Gülşen, who has received positive reception from music critics and alongside her singing career is a prominent figure as a songwriter, started singing her own songs especially after the early years of her career and has produced many hit songs for her colleagues as well. In 2015, she became the Turkish singer with the most number of viewers on YouTube and a year later she became the first Turkish singer to have a music video watched over 200 million times on the website. Throughout her career, she has won numerous awards including six Golden Butterfly Awards and nine Turkey Music Awards.

Life and career

1976–95: Early life and career beginnings

Gülşen Bayraktar was born on 29 May 1976 in Fatih, Istanbul, in a family originated from Ordu Province. She is her parents' third and last child. Her father, Arslan Bayraktar, was a mechanical engineer while her mother, Nimet Bayraktar, was a housewife. She spent her childhood and youth in Çapa and together with her family visited Ordu Province several times a year where they owned nut gardens. A fan of Far East martial arts, Gülşen began to learn karate in high school and later received her black belt. She was forced to use the martial art at the age 17 while she and her friend were harassed in the street and has said that similar occasions have happened several times in her daily life. After finishing her studies at Şehremini Anadolu High School, she began studying Turkish Classical Music at Istanbul Technical University. Simultaneously she began performing at night clubs and bars in Istanbul but as she couldn't handle both her studies and her job, she left the university after the first year. She subsequently got Turkish folk music lessons, and worked as a backing vocalist for Çelik and Bendeniz for three months.[2][3] In 1995, she was discovered by producer Serap Turgay while performing at a bar in Bakırköy. After being introduced to Turgay's husband Özkan Turgay, Gülşen received an offer to make her fist album. She finally signed a contract with Raks Müzik in order to produce four albums.[4][5]

1996–2003: Be Adam, Erkeksen and Şimdi

After signing a contract with Raks Müzik, Gülşen began working on her first album in the second half of 1995. Meanwhile, at the request of the production company, she played in a music video for Tulga's single "Ay Bu Kız Beni Öldürecek".[4] Many of the songs in her first album Be Adam (Oh Man!) were written and composed by Serap and Özkan Turgay. It was released in July 1996 and featured the single "Gel Çarem". Following the release of the album, Milliyet wrote that Gülşen had made an ambitious start in her career.[6] Following the release of a music video for "Gel Çarem", she recorded a video clip for a single with the same title as her album. Gülşen, who was shown wearing a pajama at the music video became known as the "pajama girl" in the Turkish media.[7] Subsequently a third and a forth music video were released for "Saz mı Caz mı?" and "Son Sözüm". The album earned Gülşen a nomination in the Best Newcomer Female Artist category at the 3rd Kral TV Video Music Awards.[8] A few months after the release of Be Adam, she married the nightclub operator Murat Varol. Following her marriage, she decided to put aside her career for a while.[2][9]

In 1998, she signed a new contract with Prestij Müzik which in return caused a controversy between her new and old producers. Gülşen was sued by Serap Turgay who stated that Gülşen had agreed with Raks Müzik for another two years, while Mahsun Kırmızıgül from Prestij Müzik refused the accusations by saying that they had signed a contract with Gülşen after negotiations with the previous company.[5] As a result, the singer's second album Erkeksen (If You're A Man) was produced by Prestij Müzik and released in December 1998. Gülşen later stated that "[Following Be Adam] I made another album so that I could enjoy it, I went out on the scene several times in my husband's places." She wrote the lyrics for the singles "Yiğidim", "Delisin" and "Gözü Karalım", and subsequently a separate music video was released for each of them.[2]

In the final months of 2000, Gülşen divorced her husband Murat Varol due to severe incompatibility.[9][10] She refused the allegations of violence against her ex-husband following their divorce by saying in a report that "He didn't beat me, I beat him because I have a black belt in karate."[9] Her third studio album Şimdi (Now), which was also released under the label Prestij Müzik in November 2001, featured a single written by Gülşen and titled "İhanet" (Betrayal). It reflected the deception in her marriage.[11] The album's production company was affected in the 2001 Turkish economic crisis, and at last they only produced one music video for the single "İhanet".[12]

2004–06: Of... Of..., Yurtta Aşk Cihanda Aşk

For her fourth studio album, Gülşen signed a contract with Erol Köse Production and released the album Of... Of... (Ugh... Ugh...) in September 2004. Radio broadcaster Michael Kuyucu described it as "The best of Gülşen's career [up to now]".[13] The album sold 335,000 copies in Turkey and Gülşen was chosen as the Best Female Pop Singer at the 11th Turkey Music Awards.[14][15] The release of this album was a turning point in Gülşen's career, and Milliyet wrote "The singer Gülşen, who had not been seen anywhere while married to Murat Varol, has changed completely after she left her husband. With her sexy image and new album, Gülşen has risen to stardom."[16] The song "Of Of" from the same album became a hit in Turkey and was eventually chosen as the Song of the Year at the 11th Turkey Music Awards.[15] After the release of a music video for "Of Of", three more music videos were made for the songs "Sakıncalı", "Nazar Değmesin" and "Sarışınım". The music video for "Sarışınım" was considered erotic by the Radio and Television Supreme Council who said it "is contrary to social values and leads to sexual abuse". Kral TV and Number 1 TV were both charged for broadcasting the music video.[17] In June 2005, a remixed version of Of... Of... was released.

Inspired by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's motto of "Yurtta sulh, cihanda sulh" (Peace at Home, Peace in the World), Gülşen released her fifth studio album Yurtta Aşk Cihanda Aşk (Love at Home, Love in the World) under the label Erol Köse Production in February 2006.[18] The album ranked number one on D&R's Number 1 Album List,[19] and sold 171,000 copies in Turkey, receiving a golden certificate from Mü-Yap.[20][21] Three music videos were made for the songs "Ya Tutarsa", "Yurtta Aşk Cihanda Aşk" and "Canın Sağolsun", the first of which rose to the top 5 on Türkçe Top 20 while the second one became a number-one hit.[22] In June, producer Erol Köse revealed on a TV program that he was in a relationship with Gülşen. As he was married at the time, this caused a controversy in Turkey's magazine at the time.[23] Gülşen, who organized a press conference to discuss the issue, confirmed that their relationship had begun in August 2005 when he told her that he was divorced, but two months earlier Köse had told her that he was still married and ended the relationship. Köse claimed that Gülşen knew about him being married since the beginning and this caused tension between the parties. As a result, Gülşen ended her contract with the Erol Köse's music company.[24] Subsequently, Gülşen went to the court several times due to numerous issues she had with Köse.[25] Eventually, Gülşen started a relationship with journalist Reha Muhtar in July 2006 which lasted until February 2007.[26][27]

2007–12: Ama Bir Farkla and Önsöz

In the early months of 2007, Gülşen signed a contract with Ercan Saatçi's production company Rec by Saatchi to produce three new albums, and Erol Köse's negotiations to make a new album deal with her failed.[28][29] In May 2007, however, Erol Köse's production company released a previously recorded album by Gülşen titled Mucize (Miracle). Eventually, Gülşen applied to the court to stop the distribution of the album, trying to release the album by another record company, saying that Köse was using her work to his benefit without permission.[30][31] Her sixth studio album Ama Bir Farkla (But with a Difference) was released in July under the label Rec by Saatchi. Three music videos were made for the songs "Kara Böcükler", "E Bilemem Artık" and "Su Gibi Geçerdi Zaman" , the second of which became a number-two hit on Turkey's music charts.[32]

In July 2008, Gülşen released the single "Yapamazsan Yok" which ranked 11th on the music charts.[33] At the end of July, Gülşen was among the singers who were featured on the album Uzay Heparı Sonsuza in tribute to the singer Uzay Heparı.

In July 2009, Sabah reported that Gülşen was not satisfied with the second album that she was preparing with the production company Rec by Saatchi, and as a result, she had decided to stop working with them.[29] For a while she spent her time in search of a producer company and had to postpone the publication date of her seventh studio album.[34] She also went to London to study music, painting, photography and instrument training in preparation for the album.[35] Her seventh studio album Önsöz (Foreword) was released in the last days of the year under the label of Sony Music Entertainment and Arista Records. Anchorman Michael Kuyucu believed that after her departure form Erol Köse Production her "confusion" over what she needed to do was over.[36] The lead single "Bi' An Gel" became a hit in Turkey and ranked number one on the music charts for three weeks.[37] For its music video Gülşen wore a chandelier on her head. Onur Baştürk of Hürriyet described as "the best music video I have seen in a while", and the clip was nominated for the Best Music Award at the 17th Turkey Music Awards.[38][39] A second music video was made for the Latin pop song "Ezberbozan" which ranked third on music charts.[40] "Önsöz" and "Dillere Düşeceğiz Seninle" ranked sixth and tenth on the music charts respectively.[41][42]

In 2011, Gülşen started to work on her new studio album and signed a new contract with Doğan Music Company, releasing the singles "Yeni Biri" and "Sözde Ayrılık" under their label.[43] Both of these songs became number-one hits in Turkey.[44] In the following year, she worked on her new album 01 with Ozan Çolakoğlu. The lead single of the album "Seyre Dursun Aşk" ranked number two on Turkish music charts.[45]

2013–present: Beni Durdursan mı? and Bangır Bangır

Gülşen's eighth studio album Beni Durdursan mı? (Would You Stop Me?) was produced by DMC and released in February 2013. The album ranked number one on D&R's Best Sellers List for weeks.[46][47] The album sold 100,000 copies by the end of the year and became the most-sold album in Turkey, receiving a golden certificate from DMC.[48][49] While some of the music critics gave a negative review for not finding the work to be eye-catching, some praised the content and the compositions.[50] The songs "Yatcaz Kalkcaz Ordayım" and "Kardan Adam" both became number-one hits on Türkçe Top 20 for seven weeks, and the second one also became the most searched song on Google in Turkey.[51][52][53] "Irgalamaz Beni" ranked number three on charts and critics drew similarities between its video clip and that of "Wrecking Ball" by American singer Miley Cyrus.[54][55] In order to promote the album, Gülşen performed for the first time at Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre in September.[56] At Turkey Music Awards, Gülşen became the most award-winning artist with her album being chosen as Album of the Year and its lead single becoming Song of the Year. She was also chosen as the Best Female Artist, Best Lyricist and Best Composer.[57] "Yatcaz Kalkcaz Ordayım" was awarded the Song of the Year at the 41st Golden Butterfly Awards.[58]

In April 2014, Gülşen and Murat Boz released the single "İltimas" which became a hit in Turkey.[59] She later collaborated with composer Ozan Doğulu for his album 130 Bpm Moderato (2014), singing the song "Namus".[60] She was also among the artists featured on the album Kayahan En İyileri No.1 (2015) with the song "Emrin Olur".[61] In May 2015, her ninth studio album Bangır Bangır (Loudly Loudly) was released, and it became number one on D&R's Best Sellers List, selling 100,000 copies by the end of the year making Gülşen the second best-selling artist in 2015.[62][63] The lead single, also titled "Bangır Bangır", received a golden certificate from DMC and was number one on Turkey's music charts for thirteen weeks.[49][64] It also became the most searched song on Google in Turkey and the most viewed Turkish music video on YouTube.[65] It was also chosen as the Song of the Year won the Best Music Video of the Year award at the 42nd Golden Butterfly Awards.[66] Another song from the album titled "Dan Dan" ranked number three on charts and its music video caused tension between Gülşen and the Radio and Television Supreme Council.[67] RTÜK, drew similarities between the singer's body movements in the clip and "women who provide service with friendship", and found its content harmful for children, giving a warning penalty to channels that broadcast the clip. Gülşen described it as "a heavy attack on the honor of femininity" based on an "unacceptable analogy".[68]

In June 2016, Gülşen married the arranger and composer of her last three albums, Ozan Çolakoğlu.[69] The couple's first child, a son named Azur Benan, was born in Şişli, Istanbul, in January 2017.[70]

Charity work and other activities

Gülşen, who has a passion for working on social projects, wrote and voiced a song for UNICEF's Stars of Istanbul education project in 2011, titled "The Brightest Star".[71] In 2012, Gülşen went on tour for 8 days in five different cities in the United States with The New York Gypsy All-Stars performing music in America. The artist met with Turkish Americans in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago and New Jersey.[72]
