ABOUT
I was born in Kurdistan, in the city of Van, an area where cultures such as the Kurdish, the Armenian, and the Azerbaijani meet.
When I was 10 years old, I decided to follow in my parents' footsteps and began to play the duduk and the kaval.
In 1996, I was accepted as a student at the Music Conservatory in Istanbul. During this time, I worked with a number of famous musicians, and the musical work was concentrated on Anatolia and the Balkans. My musical horizon was broadened and covered a spectrum from the Balkans to Asia.
I have released two CDs so far: "Berya" in 2002 and "Feryad" in 2009. Furthermore, Cahit can be heard on a number of other CDs. My musical passion has made me sought-after in other genres, and I continue the proud duduk and kaval tradition in the finest manner.
At the moment, I am teaching in Denmark at the World Music School (WMC), which belongs to Århus Musikskole.
