Ayşe Tütüncü

From the age of 6, music has been Ayse’s sole passion, a gift she was able to encourage and bring to life when she began studying piano at the conservatory. In 1983 she founded her first group ‘Mozaik’ producing four albums until they parted in 1995. For the band the name ‘Mozaik’ represented the fusion of rock, western classical influences, jazz and traditional turkish sounds within their music.

In 1995 she formed her second group the Ayse Tütüncü Piano Percussion Ensemble (piano – percussions – bass clarinet) and released the album ‘Variations’ in 1999 which took her to international festivals both in Turkey and Europe.
