Speaking about what inspired him to compose music for earthquake hit Turkey and Syria? and how did the soundtrack happen?

“We know what has happened for Turkey and Syria during this catastrophic earthquake. As a human, we must contribute something, or we must help people who involve, or we must help in any of our capacity. People need food, money, and basic infrastructure facilities. As a musician It’s my privilege to support with my art, and I believe music can portray the message and get inspired.”

“No one has inspired me to compose music for earthquake hit Turkey and Syria. When I saw the tragic scenes, I was broken. And when I started thinking about what I can do for these people, I found the ways.”

“I was working on some other track and then pushed to work this soundtrack due to its emergency in terms of fundraising campaign. I started working with Global Giving Team to produce the soundtrack. I asked my team including editor, cinematographer, writer, and other crew to support this cause voluntarily. They have accepted my request and supported me nicely. I would say it’s a collective effort.”

“Upon release, my Record Label, Music Publishers and Distributers also supported me in a broad level to release the music worldwide.”

Speaking on continuing his support to charities?

“I’m open to support any good causes if my time permits. If you think you can create stories, spread good messages, stop violence and help people I would like to be the person behind that musical score.”

“It’s quite difficult to manage the workload between recordings, and other artworks. But when it really matters, I would look to work and implement.”

“Similarly last year I have composed and sung a song for a college. But this Turkey-Syria project is pretty much Global indeed, which makes it really special.”
