Who is Levent Yüksel?

Levent Yuksel is a famous Turkish singer, and songwriter. Like Sertab Erener and Aşkın Nur Yengi, Levent Yüksel is one of the singers introduced to Turkish music by Sezen Aksu.

Levent Yuksel was born in Antalya, Turkey. He was raised primarily by his grandmother and step-grandfather whom he called mother and father. He met his mother when he was 7 and it was not until age 35 that he had met his biological father and discovered that he had 5 siblings. His interest in and talent for music was immediately apparent as he started playing the violin at age 5. He was known to hold the violin like a guitar and use the house iron like pretend-microphone in his early days at home. During his education in the now İstanbul University State Conservatory, Department of Contrabass, he played his bass in various nightclubs, along many singers. After completing his compulsory military service he worked in a night club orchestra together with Fatih Erkoç and Sertab Erener, to whom she had been married between from 1991 to 1996. Through Aykut Gürel, he met Sezen Aksu, and accompanied Harun Kolçak in the vocals of the song Bile Bile from the first album of Aşkın Nur Yengi.
