Brief biography and personal life of Tarkan
Turkish singer Tarkan was born in the family of hereditary Turks in 1972. At that time, the parents of the future celebrity lived in the German city of Alzey, and the reason for their moving was the economic crisis in Turkey. When the boy was 13 years old, the situation was normal, and the family decided to return to their historical homeland.
Immediately after moving to Turkey, the young man began to actively study music, and all the teachers celebrated his remarkable talent. To continue learning at a new level, Tarkan went to Istanbul, where he entered the Istanbul Music Academy. The beginning singer did not have enough money to pay for his own living, so he was forced to work as a performer of national music at weddings and various festivals. Although the growth of the singer Tarkan is only 173 cm, he has a very attractive appearance, so he was often invited to hold various events.
After a while, Tarkan met with Mehmet Soyetoulu, who was then in charge of the Istanbul Plak label. As a result of a joint collaboration between the producer, the novice performer and composer Ozana Cholakolu, in 1992, Tarkan's first album, Yine Sensiz, was born. It included original compositions in which the national Turkish motives were guessed, as well as western notes. Thanks to this, the songs from Tarkan's album immediately became extremely popular, especially among the young layers of the population of Turkey.
Later, the career of the young singer developed with extraordinary speed. All his new albums and singles were incredibly successful, except for the English-language album Come Closer, released in 2006. Contrary to expectations, Tarkan's songs in the English dialect did not appeal to listeners, and sales of this album in the homeland of the singer amounted to only 110,000 copies.
Turkish singer Tarkan is a very ambiguous personality. In particular, there are several unpleasant facts in the biography of a celebrity. So, in 1999 a famous singer was drafted into the Turkish army , however, he did not join the service, but chose to stay in Europe. As a result of such actions, the star in the Turkish parliament even raised the question of depriving Tarkan of the citizenship of his country.
Meanwhile, in August 1999, the singer's homeland passed a law on the possibility of performing military service for 28 days and paying $ 16,000 to a charitable foundation. This is exactly what Tarkan took advantage of, having gone into the army for only four weeks.
In 2010, the singer was detained together with other people by the drug police. Tarkan was threatened with up to two years of imprisonment for the use and possession of narcotic substances, however, three days after his arrest, the young man was released.
Finally, for a long time, there were rumors in the press that Tarkan was in the category of people with non-traditional sexual orientation . According to rumors, the Turkish singer himself repeatedly confirmed that he is gay. Meanwhile, in the period from 2001 to 2008 he had a romantic relationship with Bilge Ozturk, and in 2011 he began meeting with his fan Pynar Dilek.
