Aslı Gökyokuş (born 26 October 1977) is a Turkish singer.[1]

Life and career

Early experience with Music

Aslı Gökyokuş, who is also known as Aslı was born on October 26, 1977 in Istanbul. Her work in music began with the band that she helped form during her years at high school, which was called "Phoenix". The group started off like any other garageband, which had their members doing their own thing and performing gigs at their high school whenever possible. Following their high school years, a few of the founding members of the band left and only to be replaced by new interested members. Of course, Aslı stayed as she continued performing and working with her band mates. With the new group members being added, the band decided to change their names to that of, “Mary Jane“. Their music basically consisted of rearranging cover hits and performing at local halls, bars and wherever they had been invited to perform.

Working with other Turkish artists

Their first performance occurred at the Beyoğlu Guitar Bar. They then went on to perform at the famous Kemancı rock bar for three years in Istanbul. Aslı has worked with Ümit Öztürk (at guitar) in the album Neresindeyim; Sessizzce song is Ümit's song in the album. It was during this period that Aslı's publicity and fame began to rise. Her strong vocal performance with the band helped her raise some eyebrows and so it was not long before she found herself being offered to be a back vocalist for famous Turkish rock artist, Haluk Levent. Aslı had worked with Haluk for short period of time. She then moved on and agreed to be a back vocalist for yet another famous Turkish artist, Teoman. Aslı had worked with Teoman for a longer period of time and through these experiences, she began to gain further knowledge in the music industry. Moreover, during the same period as she was being a back vocalist, she took courses in singing and solfège which naturally expanded her knowledge in music in general.

Neresindeyim & Su Gibi

Following all these experiences and background knowledge she achieved, Aslı decided to step up and record her own album with the support of her friends, Serkan Çeliköz and Selim Öztürk who are members of the famous Turkish group, Kargo. Aslı would go on and sign a contract with Sony Music Turkey and concentrated her attention at working into releasing her first album. Unfortunately, things did not seem as easy as earlier as expected and so the following year she relied on the help of famous composers, Serkan and Selim to direct her attention as well as guide her through this first solo journey into releasing an album. After all the intensive work at the studio for roughly three years, Aslı had finally been able to release her first album in 2000 which was titled, “Neresindeyim” in 2000. Some of the singles released from this album includes “Ölüm Kapımı Çalmasa da”, “Keşf’i Alem” and “Sessizce”. The album had some relative success at the beginning, though it was not a popular sell-out album. Due to that, Aslı took a little break from the whole music industry and finally ended up coming out with her second album called “Su Gibi” in 2004. Some of the singles released off from this album include, "Su Gibi", "Tüm Şehir Ağladı", and "Kördüğüm". All of the tracks in this album had been composed by Aslı herself.

Dans Etmeye İhtiyacım Var

In April 2007, Aslı went on to release her third album which is titled, "Söylediğim Şarkılarda Saklı". Surprisingly, it has managed to achieve a lot of attention and success thus far. Her first single released, "Dans Etmeye İhtiyacım Var" (which means "I need to dance") is frequently played on Turkish radio and TV stations. A few months afterwards, Aslı went on to release her second single called, "Yardımcı Olmuyor" (which means "It doesn't help"). It too has managed to receive a lot of attention and airplay throughout Turkish Radio and TV stations as well.

gollark: POST data isn't in the URL though, it's sent as the body.

gollark: The reason they *do* is probably just consistency with other methods (it would be very annoying if they worked very differently to GET routing-wise) and so requests can be routed to the right handler more easily.

gollark: <@498244879894315027> Why wouldn't (shouldn't?) they have a URL?

gollark: They do have to spin pretty fast. There are sealed helium ones now.

gollark: > The HDD's spindle system relies on air density inside the disk enclosure to support the heads at their proper flying height while the disk rotates. HDDs require a certain range of air densities to operate properly. The connection to the external environment and density occurs through a small hole in the enclosure (about 0.5 mm in breadth), usually with a filter on the inside (the breather filter).[124] If the air density is too low, then there is not enough lift for the flying head, so the head gets too close to the disk, and there is a risk of head crashes and data loss. Specially manufactured sealed and pressurized disks are needed for reliable high-altitude operation, above about 3,000 m (9,800 ft).[125] Modern disks include temperature sensors and adjust their operation to the operating environment. Breather holes can be seen on all disk drives – they usually have a sticker next to them, warning the user not to cover the holes. The air inside the operating drive is constantly moving too, being swept in motion by friction with the spinning platters. This air passes through an internal recirculation (or "recirc") filter to remove any leftover contaminants from manufacture, any particles or chemicals that may have somehow entered the enclosure, and any particles or outgassing generated internally in normal operation. Very high humidity present for extended periods of time can corrode the heads and platters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Integrity
