HEADLINER BIO
CEZA
Bilgin Ăzçalkan born ĂskĂźdar, Istanbul, also known by his stage name Ceza is a Turkish rapper and songwriter. Ăzçalkanâs interest to rap music blossomed around his primary school years, where he borrowed rap cassettes from his school mates.
In 1995, Ăzçalkan started a group called U.C.S, and performed with this group until about 1998. His group Nefret got signed under Hammer Music in 2000, and the album Meclis Ala â Istanbul was released. In 2001, Ăzçalkan proceeded to release the album Anahtar. The title track on this album that holds the same name as the album itself was the first one that came with a music video. The album was a great success, and Ăzçalkan got to give many concerts with it.
Ăzçalkanâs big breakthrough came in 2004, however. He was invited to one of the biggest rock festivals in Turkey, namely Rock Istanbul, and was asked to perform on stage here. He was able to showcase his rap music in an environment that held the largest Turkish popular music acts.
In 2005, Ăzçalkan played a role in two films of Turkish director Fatih Akin, namely Istanbul Hatirasi: KĂśprĂźyĂź Geçmek and Kebab Connection, the latter being a film that Fatih Akin participated in by being a writer.
After these two projects, Ăzçalkan had a featuring with artist Mercan Dede, in his album Su (water). In his 2006 album Yerli Plaka, he had a featuring of Turkish singer Sezen Aksu, and he also participated in her song Sinanay.
In late 2008, various songs of Yerli Plaka were used as OST for the Turkish drama series Adanali. After this, Ăzçalkan participated in American rapper Tech N9neâs song, namely Worldwide Choppers, on his album All 6âs and 7âs. This was the first time that Ăzçalkan worked with a non-Turkish artist.
In 2007, Ăzçalkan had a featuring in Mercan Dedeâs 800 album, where he rapped together with singer Yildiz Tilbe. He then released the song Bomba Plak in 2009. With fellow rapper Killa Hakan, Ăzçalkan proceeded to release two albums, one of them being released in Turkey, and the other in Germany.
In Killa Hakanâs solo album, being Volume Maximum, Ăzçalkan participated in a total of 10 songs. For two of these songs, being Alles Tamam and Allerbesten Rapper, were music videos released.
In 2010, Ăzçalkan released the album Onuncu KĂśy. He released a music video for the title track Bir Minik Mikrofon. In the same year, Ăzçalkan released a track for the Istanbul Boxing Team. He then proceeded to shoot a music video for one of the songs on his 2010 album, together with Killa Hakan. He also released a rap songs with the beat of Mozartâs Turkish Marsh, a comeback after not releasing music for a while.
Ăzçalkanâs last album, namely Suspus, was released on 26 May 2015, after a long hiatus. He filmed a music video for the title track Suspus, and he expressed interest in releasing more music videos for his other songs on the album as well.
