CEZA biography

Ceza was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1977. His interest in music started in his primary school days with the tapes he borrowed from his friend. His professional career started when he met Dr Fuchs and formed NEFRET. In 1998, they recorded several songs; four of these were released in a compilation album called "Yeralti Operasyonu" together with 3 other rap acts. Right after this compilation, they caught Hammer Muzik's attention and signed a multi-album contract. In 2000, their debut album "Meclisi Ala Istanbul" was released. A videoclip was made for the song "Istanbul" which had airplay in national TV channels. In 2001 came the second album "Anahtar". Shortly after "Anahtar" was released, Dr Fuchs's military service contract (which was Turkish policy) came into effect and he had to leave for 18 months. In Dr Fuchs's absence, Ceza started working on his debut solo "Med Cezir". The album was released in 2002 and it grasped huge interest among the Turkish audience and the media. Ceza then did a Turkish tour and also performed live outside Turkey in countries such as Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Sweden. www.ceza.com.tr Uskudar, Istanbul, Turkey
