Anıl Aydın is an Istanbul based musician and print artist. She started performing at Istanbul local scene around 2005, collaborating with different projects and bands and started writing her own music around 2008.
While studying Fine Arts in New York and working with high-end brands by creating artworks for them, she published her own music from platforms such as Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
Moving back to Istanbul in 2014, she continued writing music, creating artwork, and having DJ Sets at a variety of clubs in Istanbul.
She sees her creation in music and art and tries to go back to the core of her starting point of emotions by using and combining the materials she creates.
She is an artist who takes part in every step of the release process, by getting involved and using her ideas in every product such as videos, album art, etc.
She released her first single ‘Belong’ in May 2019 which has elements and inspiration from 80s synth-pop, and her new single ‘Way Out’ which was produced by Yasemin Özler circulates among genres such as neo-classical and alternative.
The new single ‘Way Out’ took its place on digital platforms independently, on Oct 28, 2019. Yasemin Özler, who has been known for a long time from Istanbul’s local stage, arranged and produced the song.
Elaborate on the song.
The lyrics and music of ‘Way Out’ belong to Anıl Aydın, and the song circulates among genres such as neo-classical and alternative.
‘Way Out’ which ripples melancholic lyrics in a magical atmosphere, aims to be a gateway to peace and light through its arrangement.

We currently have started working on my new songs with Yasemin Özler; who also produced ‘Way Out’.
I like pushing my limits and surprising my audience, therefore my new material will include elements I haven’t used before, but still having traces of me.
I believe the power of collaborating with other musicians, and I feel like we will create some new work with Yasemin that will be exciting, which already does to me.
Lyrics:
Silence took me this time
Sirens keep on luring my head
I close my eyes and sail inside
I’m no longer afraid of the nights at the far seas
But I still don’t say no to a companion
Lean into the night
It won’t take long to find a land
Where we can start over again
Make my hands write for it this time
Lean into the light
Tell no more exceptional lies
In your way of playing your part
Show me a way to stay beside
The fire reached out his hand and touched my heart
Don’t ever put words in my mouth, I shout out
I still find myself crawling away in some strange mess
