Life and career

Merve Özbey was born on 18 July 1988 in Istanbul. Her family originate from Erzurum.[1] She studied Turkish classical music in Istanbul Technical University.[2] Singer Ebru Gündeş discovered Özbey's talent. While listening to her at Utku's concert, she liked her voice and asked Özbey to perform a few more songs and eventually took her as her own vocalist. Özbey subsequently became a vocalist for singers Demet Akalın, Bengü, Özcan Deniz, Ferman Toprak, Utku and Yaşar İpek.[3] While she was working as a vocalist on Demet Akalın's new album she met Erdem Kınay. Kınay said that he was working on a new album and asked Özbey to collaborate with him.[3] In 2012, Kınay's new album Proje was released and Özbey was featured on the song "Duman".[2] The song became a massive hit and made Özbey well-known.[2] In 2013, Kınay released the album Proje 2 and Özbey was featured on the song "Helal Ettim". After releasing a few songs with Kınay, Özbey decided to work on her first solo album.[3][4]

In July 2015, Özbey's first album Yaş Hikayesi was released. A lead single with the same name was written by Deniz Erten and arranged by Erdem Kınay.[5] The song became a number one hit on Türkçe Top 20.[6] A second music video was also made for "Topsuz Tüfeksiz".[7]
