First thing comes to your mind when we say 70’s?

The fist thing that comes to my mind with 70’s; wide leg trousers, flowers, Woodstock Festival, identity and Rock’n Roll!

The most iconic legacy 70’s music left behind?

It is kinda of the most important era of music. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix and legendary Woodstock Music Festival and many more… It is an era which psychedelic music dominated the music industry. In our country names like Cem Karaca Barış Manço Erkin Koray Selda Bağcan were at a peak globally…

How do you explain the bond between you and music?

Music means family to me. Union and sharing… Coming from a family with musical background and experiencing people gathering around music always impressed me!

To be in the moment or to get lost in time?

To get lost in time. Actually to travel in time… To be able to go to the past, thinking about the future and dreaming in between…
