Learn Turkish With Song Lyrics
Güliz Ayla is a Turkish singer and songwriter, born on 27 April 1988. She studied theatre and drama at the Samsun municipality conservatory and got her start on stage, singing in musicals and fronting the band Adelaide, which won a national rock contest in 2006.
Her breakthrough came in 2015 with her debut single "Olmazsan Olmaz," which became the most-searched song in Turkey on Shazam. That same year she released her self-titled debut album, working alongside acclaimed Turkish artist Sıla and composer Efe Bahadır. Her emotive, heartfelt pop has made her one of the memorable voices of the Turkish music scene.
Manifest is a Turkish girl group that became one of the biggest pop stories of 2025. Its six members, Mina Solak, Lidya Pınar, Esin Bahat, Hilal Yelekçi, Zeynep Sude Oktay and Sueda Uluca, came together after winning the reality singing competition Big5 Türkiye, run by the agency Hypers New Media.
Their debut single "Zamansızdık" arrived in February 2025 and gathered millions of streams within months. Their first album, "Manifestival," followed in June and shot straight to number one in Turkey and Azerbaijan, and the group celebrated with a two day festival in Istanbul. Blending pop, dance and R&B, Manifest is often described as the first major Turkish girl group in a generation.
