Sertab Erener is a Turkish singer, songwriter and composer. With her coloratura soprano voice, she started working as a backing vocalist for Sezen Aksu, and with Aksu's help she released her first studio album in the 1990s.

With her entrance to Europe's market in the early 2000s, many of her works were also sold in Turkey as well as European countries.
