[edit] Biography

Before I get into her success with the music industry, I would like to point out the achievments Nil managed to receive with her education. In 2000, she graduated from Boğaziçi University with a degree in International Relations. She also further received the Crystal Apple prize award twice, which recognized her achievements in Advertising which she studied as a minor. Besides her academic success - Nil has also done exceptionally well in the music scenary. Having been trained as a composer has given her the ability to construct songs which are able to combine Western pop elements along with that of an Oriental rhythm. The lyrics to most of her songs tend to raise a lot of eyebrowses in Turkey due to the fact they can range anywhere from being absurd, ironic to that of carrying a message between the lines. A lot of Nil' songs also carry universal messages dealing with love, marriage and relationships.

[edit] Early Musical Success

Up to 2007, Nil has managed to release 3 successful albums along with several singles of her own here and there. In 2002, her debuting album titled, "Nil Dünyası" managed to bring her into the spotlight with hits that include, "Kek" and "XL". Two years later, Nil managed to follow up with another album called, "Nil FM" which also managed to see similar success as that of her first album. Some of the hit singles released from that album include, "Gitme Yoksa…", "Akbaba", "Ben Aptal Mıyım?" and "Bronzlaşmak" as well.

[edit] Tek Taşımı Kendim Aldım

In 2006, Nil would go on to release her 3rd album called, "Tek Taşımı Kendim Aldım". The album managed to bring Nil with some further success with hits including, "Pırlanta", "Peri" and of course, "Organize İşler Bunlar". All of the three singles from this album managed to easily top most Turkish charts, which is quite a success considering that the Turkish music industry is a quite competitive one.

[edit] Yaş 18

In late 2006, Nil released a single called, "Yaş 18" (Age 18) which is one of the two tracks she recorded for the soundtrack of the Turkish movie Sınav (Exam). Both the movie and the song deal with the pressure Turkish students face preparing for matriculation, as well as angst from coming of age.
