ABOUT
Born in Istanbul, Turkey, and educated in Austria, Tan has been living in two cultures all his life.
He has been composing music since he was 14. Having learned to play the piano and organ, it was a logical step to dive into the world of electronic music and synthesizers.
During his time working as a DJ in the early 1990s, Tan was heavily influenced by the House and Trance styles and the electronic pioneering music of the 70s like Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, and Tangerine Dream. Ambient and Ethnic World Music, though, became his favorite musical style in the new dawning millennium. He sees himself as an artist who wants to bring the Orient and Occident together through his art. He has won several awards in the USA, such as the Akademia Awards (multiple times from 2015 through 2019), Indie Music Channel Awards, Global Music Awards, and World Songwriting Awards, and was also nominated for the HMMA (Hollywood Music in Media Awards) in 2016.
