im on a plane on my way to istanbul turkey rn. it’s crowded and dark but it’s pleasant. I’ve been on way more annoying flights. as im sitting here trying to pass time, im trying to make sense of how somewhere along the timeline of my life, i made a left, or right turn and it led me to a plane on my way to istanbul turkey.

i started making songs like 13 years ago. maybe longer tbh. it’s been so long I don’t even really remember. well, i guess i could count. ok let’s count. im 32 and i started when i was like 15 (when i wrote my first song), so that’s 17 years. cool, got it. and ive played a lot of songs a lot of times, but never in istanbul turkey.

i have played shows in other cities in Europe a few times before (which we’ll be doing after turkey). and I have played some of my own music at those shows. but this time it all feels different. And there’s a chance that it feels different because I want it to be different? But no, this all feels different.

but none of those shows felt like this. not even if you added them all up together. and tbh, its not even the SHOWS, but more the whole thing. mainly the interactions and love and community im feeling here on the internet. and i have to say its really a crazy feeling.

it can be really lonely sharing yourself. id be lying if I said i make things solely for myself. i make things in the WAYS I DO solely for myself. i dont bend or adapt because I think it’ll get your guys attention quicker or easier. you guys cant be fooled. it’s impossible. I’ve tried. and it’s SO crazy to me, and I feel SO fulfilled because all of these songs I’m playing, and photos, and posts im sharing, are just my natural reactions to whatever is in front of me. idk if that’s clear enough or makes sense, but im saying, im keeping it a buck, and just being real and you guys seem to believe in that, and it’s fucking free’ing. and you guys are allowing me to be myself and contribute to your lives. and seeing me for that. so thank you. it’s so liberating, and so incredible.

btw, music really is coming soon. and that’s not in a promo kinda way. all the details are being worked out and songs will arrive. and I really hope you like them. i really like them. but okay, im ranting now. I’ve probably been ranting. excuse my terrible writing btw. Love to all of you everywhere all the time. I’m going to continue sitting on this flight to Istanbul turkey rn.

Resmi gazetede ilan edilmedi ama fiili şeriat güncellememiz vatana millete hayırlı olsun. Ülkede öyle bir siyasal islam simülasyonu yaşıyoruz ki akıl alır gibi değil. Adalet sistemine bakıyorsun; uyuşturucudan ya da binbir türlü pislikten içeri giren torbacısı, mafyası anında Instagram’a janjanlı bir dua, bir Kuran storysi atıp elini kolunu sallayarak dışarı çıkabiliyor. Devlet resmen diyor ki; "İstediğin suçu işle, yeter ki bizim siyasal islam şovumuza ortak ol, bunu topluma enpoze et, senin bütün suçlarını sileriz. Adalet biziz." Hayatında dinle diyanetle uzaktan yakından alakası olmayan tipler bir anda sure, ayet paylaşarak adli sicillerinden arınıyor. Kimse çıkıp iki kelime edemesin, din tartışması yapmasın diye de millete resmen korku salınıyor.

İlkokullarda zil sesi niyetine zikirli ilahiler çalıyor artık. Çıkıp haklı olarak isyan eden bir veli "İlkokulda zikirli ilahi mi olur, çocuklar dini böyle mi öğrenir? O zaman 12 İmamlar orucunda deyiş çalsın, Noel'de Hristiyan müzikleri çalsın, herkes aynı şeye inanmak zorunda mı?" dediği an gözaltına alınıyor! Ama o okulda o müziği dayatanlar ödüllendiriliyor, baş tacı ediliyor. Bu da yetmiyor; ilkokul sıralarındaki küçücük çocuklara "Erdoğan'ı seviyor musun?", "Ailen Ramazan'da oruç tutuyor mu?" diye bildiğin fişleme soruları soruluyor. 7 yaşındaki çocuk üzerinden aile fişleyip, torbacıya sure okutturarak adalet dağıtılan bu ucube düzen
