EZHEL

Ezhel, whose real name is Sercan İpekçioğlu, was born on 1 July 1990 in Ankara, Turkey, and now lives in Berlin, is one of the most influential figures on the Turkish and German rap scenes. Growing up in the busy but tough streets of Ankara, Ezhel was exposed to a wide range of musical influences from an early age, including reggae, hip-hop and Anatolian rock. His passion for music emerged in his teens, when he began experimenting with freestyle and performing in underground rap battles.

His debut album, 'Müptezhel', released in 2017, was a real turning point in his career and quickly became a cultural phenomenon in Turkey. The album, which blends rap, reggae and trap elements, was praised for the sincerity of its lyrics, tackling themes such as urban life, societal problems and the difficulties faced by young people. Songs such as "Şehrimin Tadı" and "Geceler" have deeply touched a generation facing economic and social challenges, establishing Ezhel as the voice of Turkish youth.

Ezhel's collaborations with international artists such as Aitch, Luciano, Gentleman and Ufo361 have broadened his notoriety, making him a leading figure on the global hip-hop scene.
Today, Ezhel continues to expand the boundaries of rap, using his music as a powerful tool for storytelling and social commentary, confirming his place as a pioneering artist in the genre.

See Ezhel in concert at Le Bataclan on 28 October!
