Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Istanbul, Ajda began singing in nightclubs with Los Çatikos in the early 1960s. Winning Ses magazine’s cinema artist competition in 1963 helped launch her film career, including Adanalı Tayfur. She later left acting to focus on singing.
Finding her voice.
Her collaborations with lyricist Fikret Şeneş helped make Turkish-language adaptations such as “Kimler Geldi Kimler Geçti” and “Bambaşka Biri” part of her lasting repertoire. Later hits included “Yaz Yaz Yaz,” “Sarıl Bana” and “Yakar Geçerim.”
Still making music.
Her recent recordings include the Manifest duet “Hileli” and the solo single “Şahsen Ben.” Alongside new releases, remixes keep older songs circulating among listeners.
