Tuna Kiremitçi

Tuna Kiremitçi creates music that feels like a well-worn novel. It is deeply rooted in the Turkish singer-songwriter tradition but carries a sophisticated, literary weight that betrays his background as a poet and novelist. The sound is characterized by warm acoustic guitars, elegant piano lines, and a baritone voice that feels like it’s whispering directly to the listener. There is a pervasive sense of urban romanticism, capturing the specific melancholy of Istanbul nights.

What truly sets him apart is his 'and Friends' project series, where he transforms his songs into intimate conversations. By pairing with diverse female vocalists, he creates a dynamic of shared vulnerability. The arrangements are lush but never overproduced, allowing the emotional resonance of the lyrics to remain the focal point. It is music that values the pause between notes as much as the melody itself.
