Following his studies he began his professional music career with Grup Laçin, an ensemble that has performed in both national and international tours. He was featured as a guest artist in Mercan Dede & Secret Tribe, Kardes Türküler and Yarkin Ensemble projects at the Montreux Jazz (Switzerland), Jazz a Vienne (France), Rhythm Sticks (England), the Moers Festival (Germany), Etnomalaga (Spain) and Skobye Jazz (Macedonia).
