Sezen Aksu was born in Sarayky, Denizli, Turkey. Her father was a mathematics teacher.[7] Her family moved to Bergama when she was three years old and she spent her childhood and early youth there.[8] Aksu's parents discouraged her singing because they wanted her to have a steady profession as a doctor or engineer. She used to wait until they left the house and sing on the family's balcony.[9] After finishing high school, she began studying at the local agricultural institute, but left college to concentrate on music.

Along with her close friend Ajda Pekkan, Aksu is credited with laying the foundations of Turkish pop music in the 1970s.[10] Her sound has also spread across the Balkans[11] and Greece.[12] Aksu has also toured in Europe and the U.S to critical appraise.[13]

She has championed a variety of causes, including support for constitutional reform, minority rights, women's rights, the environment, and educational reform in Turkey.[2] Aksu has been married and divorced four times, but kept the name from her second marriage to Ali Engin Aksu, a doctor of geology who currently resides in Canada. She has a son with Sinan zer, named Mithat Can, who is also a lead vocalist of Pist'on band.

Sezen Aksu released her first single, Haydi ansm/Gel Bana in 1975 under the name of "Sezen Seley".[14] However, she remained undiscovered until her 1976 single[15] Olmaz Olsun/Vurdumduymaz reached number one in the Turkish charts.[15] In 1976, Sezen Aksu won the "Promising Female Artist of the Year" award.[16] Her first album was 1977's Allahasmarladk, released as a 33's and named after her previous single Allahasmarladk/Ka Yl Geti Aradan, contains her previous singles as well as a few additional pieces like Uzun Lafn Ksas and Gzlerindeki Bulut.

Aksu finally decided to represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest in the mid-70s. However, even though she competed in the national finals for the competition three times, with Kk Bir Ak Masal (A Little Love Tale) as a duet with zdemir Erdoan, "Heyamola" which was performed as a trio with Cokun Demir and Ali Kocatepe, and 1945 which was a solo performance, she did not get the chance to represent Turkey abroad. It was to be left to her pupil, Sertab Erener, to win the Eurovision and realise Aksu's dream to push her musical vision further into Europe.

In the 80's, Aksu had a relationship with Turkish-Armenian producer Onno Tun that was both romantic and professional. As a couple they put their signatures to works that broke new ground in Turkish pop music, such as Sen Alama, Git, Sezen Aksu'88 and Sezen Aksu Sylyor. Her music matured in the 90's, when she co-produced her best selling album to-date Glmse with Tun. The A-1 track from the album called Hadi Bakalm was a hit in Turkey and Europe, and was published as a single in Germany. It was to be later rediscovered in Europop by singer Loona as Rhythm of the Night. She also began to produce albums for her vocalists, notably producing Akn Nur Yengi's debut album Sevgiliye (To a Lover) again with Tun. She was to repeat her success as a teacher with artists Sertab Erener and Levent Yksel.

Parting ways with Tun, in 1995, Aksu branched out with the experimental album Ik Doudan Ykselir, drawing both on western classical and regional Turkish musical traditions. This album made her name known outside Turkey and gave her a worldwide audience, especially in Europe. In 1996, she released D Baheleri as a tribute to Tun, who died that same year tragically when his private plane crashed. In 1997, she released Dn ve Cenaze, this time collaborating with Goran Bregovi.

In 2005, she was featured in Fatih Akn's documentary film Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul with a performance of the song "stanbul Hatras". In 2006, Aksu published a book called Eksik iir, a collection of 197 songs written by her between 1975-2006. The book was well-received and sold 17,000 copies in the first 4 days after its release.[17][18] It was followed by Eksik iir kinci Kitap in 2016.

In 2008, Aksu released her album called Deniz Yldz through Starfish Records. In 2009 she released her album Yryorum D Bahelerinde. The album contains new original songs as well as some older songs which were composed by Sezen Aksu for other singers, most notably "akkd", "Kibir", "Yok Ki".

In 2011, Aksu bean producing music again and released the studio album ptm.[23] The album consists of songs written and composed by Aksu, including "Unuttun mu Beni", "Vay", "Aka krederim", "Ah Felek Yordun Beni", and also features a song written by Nazan ncel titled "Ball". Cemal Sreya's poem "Saym" was turned by Aksu into a song and included in the album as well.[24]

At her concert in Volkswagen Arena Istanbul in January 2016, Aksu announced that she would retire from performing live on stage: "Each ending is a new beginning. I will continue to produce [music], but I'm going to say goodbye to the stage after doing a few concerts I promised before. This is my last concert in Istanbul. I'm grateful for having you here with me today in memory of 40 years of my career."[25] In September, she stated again that she would continue making music.[26]

In January 2022, Aksu was criticized by conservaties and religious figures for calling Adam and Eve ignorant in the song "Ne ahane Bir ey Yaamak" (a cover of the 2012 song "C'est la vie"). The song was originally included in the 2017 tribute album Alakasz arklar, Vol. 1 in memory of Yaar Gaga, but resurfaced on the social media in early 2022 after its lyric video was published on Aksu's official YouTube channel on 30 December 2021.[27] President Recep Tayyip Erdoan, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Baheli, and the Directorate of Religious Affairs, were among the political figures and government agencies that criticized Aksu and the song.[27] After remaining silent for a month, Aksu eventually released a statement on her Facebook account on January 22.[28] "As you know, the matter is not me; the matter is the country," she remarked, thanking everyone who have shown their support for her.[29] Aksu also revealed the lyrics to a new song she wrote the previous day: "You won't be able to crush my tongue."[30]

About the young people who participated in the first days of the Gezi Park protests in 2013 she said: "This is the first youth revolution in the world. They have sent an extraordinary message and the people there and those who are coming to the streets are speaking their words with an extraordinary language."[36] In 2014, she again paid tribute to the young people who took part in the protests with her new single "Yeni ve Yeni Kalanlar".[37]

Aksu is keen to fight against issues such as misogyny, illiteracy, discrimination, bullying and homophobia. According to the LGBT magazine, KAOS GL, she is a major gay icon, with the Turkish LGBT community embracing her as a pop culture representative.[38] In 2002, alongside Ajda Pekkan and Seyyal Taner, Aksu was named as one of the gay icons admired by the Turkish LGBT people in the book Ecinsel Erkekler by Murat Hocaolu.[38] In a survey conducted by KAOS GL,[39][40] she was chosen as one of the favorite gay icons by the participants. Aksu is praised by the LGBT community in Turkey[38] and publicly assists and supports LGBT people through charity work.[38][41] In 2008, she supported LGBT association Lambdaistanbul, which was closed by a court decision based on "the fact that it is contrary to general morality".[42] In 2013, Aksu performed with transsexual actress Ayta Szeri on stage,[41] and later a huge rainbow flag symbolizing the LGBT movement was waved in the air, the first time that a Turkish artist had publicly shown support for LGBT on stage.[43][44] Later in 2013, she published a statement on her official website[45] in support of the SPOD (Social Policy Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Studies Association) on its first anniversary.[46][47] In her statement, she mentioned Mesut aban Okan, nicknamed "rem", who was a victim of hate crime in Bursa in 2010. Referencing Melek Okan's words about her child's death, who had said "They could not find a place for my child anywhere in the whole world!",[48] Aksu talked about violence against LGBT people and added that she would fight against violence and discrimination.

As long as my breath is sufficient enough, I will take a stand against this discrimination, this speciesism, this cruelty that ignores and destroys those who are not like them; I'll take the side of those whose right to live was blocked. With all my heart and hope..." 152ee80cbc
