Melike Sahin
City Winery Philadelphia presents Melike Sahin live in concert on March 4th at 7:30pm
Melike Şahin, the modern Turkish Diva, shining gem from Istanbul, singer, songwriter and
composer who navigates across Anatolian pop and Middle Eastern sounds, coupling
resolutely contemporary and traditional music. The beginning of her dazzling artistic journey
led her across 5 continents and over 40 countries as legendary Turkish psychedelic group
BaBa ZuLa’s lead singer. With the outset of her solo career in 2017, her songs reached
millions of streams, mustering a solid and rapidly growing audience. In 2021, she released
her much-awaited debut album, harmoniously blending pop, R&B and disco elements. A
memorable London Jazz Festival performance earned her the nickname of “Turkish Sade”.
Known for her ingenuously passionate interpretation, poignant lyrics, and powerfully
immersive stage performances, Melike Şahin keeps soaring, relentlessly producing,
collaborating with musicians all over the world, and winning crowds over everywhere she
performs.
