About Sonay Akçen

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember listening Pink Floyd on my mother's record player for the first time at age 8. it was my fist time that I heard black female vocals and it was hypnotic. Neither did I know that I am gonna be a singer nor a producer in the future. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Billie Eilish, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? Hans Zimmer, Dune (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Ludwig Göransson, The Mandalorian: Chapter 1 (Original Score) Since I'm producing soundtracks these two are my most favorites. For the Billie I can say more. She reminds me myself at her age and I discovered that album while I was recovering from my cancer treatment. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Süper Kahraman” This song was my answer for my breast cancer. Lyrics are ironic, fun and somewhat rebellious. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think I've been treated unfairly in my early career. I couldn't convince my producers of my timeless creations, which made me resent the music. I never bowed to their suggestions or their self superior egos. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? When I got cancer at the age of 38 and took a 5-year break from my life, I started everything from scratch again. I'm starting life and music again at the age of 45 with a new voice and new sounds free from all binding rules
